A New Classification-Rule Pruning Procedure for an Ant Colony Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work proposes a new rule pruning procedure for Ant-Miner, an Ant Colony algorithm that discovers classification rules in the context of data mining. The performance of Ant-Miner with the new pruning procedure is evaluated and compared with the performance of the original Ant-Miner across several datasets. The results show that the new pruning procedure has a mixed effect on the performance of Ant-Miner. On one hand, overall it tends to decrease the classification accuracy more often than it improves it. On the other hand, the new pruning procedure in general leads to the discovery of classification rules that are considerably shorter, and so simpler (more easily interpretable by the users) than the rules discovered by the original Ant-Miner.

A hybridization of evolutionary fuzzy systems and ant Colony optimization for intrusion detection
A hybrid approach for intrusion detection in computer networks is presented in this paper. The proposed approach combines an evolutionary-based fuzzy system with an Ant Colony Optimization procedure to generate high-quality fuzzy-classification rules. We applied our hybrid learning approach to network security and validated it using the DARPA KDD-Cup99 benchmark data set. The results indicate t...
متن کاملNew Ant Colony Algorithm Method based on Mutation for FPGA Placement Problem
Many real world problems can be modelled as an optimization problem. Evolutionary algorithms are used to solve these problems. Ant colony algorithm is a class of evolutionary algorithms that have been inspired of some specific ants looking for food in the nature. These ants leave trail pheromone on the ground to mark good ways that can be followed by other members of the group. Ant colony optim...
