The Use of Ant Colony Inspired Methods in Electrocardiogram Interpretation, an Overview

This paper presents an overview of methods inspired by the behaviour of real ants in the nature which are currently in the focus of research and which have been used in the process of electrocardiogram interpretation and processing. The paper describes the use of dynamic time warping algorithm used together with ant colony inspired clustering and considers the relevant steps to speed up the algorithm and make it robust in respect to the data used. The paper also discusses the use of standard clustering methods in the ECG processing using the dynamic time warping algorithm and compares them with ant colony inspired clustering method.
