چکیده

This work describes an algorithm for rule discovery in databases called AntMiner. The objective of the algorithm is the extraction of classification rules to be applied to unseen data as a decision aid. The algorithm used to discover such rules is inspired in the behavior of a real ant colony, as well as some concepts of information theory and data mining. AntMiner was applied to medical databases to obtain classification rules.

Hybrid ANFIS with ant colony optimization algorithm for prediction of shear wave velocity from a carbonate reservoir in Iran

Shear wave velocity (Vs) data are key information for petrophysical, geophysical and geomechanical studies. Although compressional wave velocity (Vp) measurements exist in almost all wells, shear wave velocity is not recorded for most of elderly wells due to lack of technologic tools. Furthermore, measurement of shear wave velocity is to some extent costly. This study proposes a novel methodolo...

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...
