Experiments with variants of ant algorithms.

Thomas Stützle, Sebastian Linke (2002)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

A number of extensions of Ant System, the first ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm, were proposed in the literature. These extensions typically achieve much improved computational results when compared to the original Ant System. However, many design choices of Ant System are left untouched including the fact that solutions are constructed, that real-numbers are used to simulate pheromone trails, and that explicit pheromone evaporation is used. In this article we experimentally...

Ant Colony Optimisation: models and applications.

Oscar Cordón, Francisco Herrera, Thomas Stützle (2002)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a metaheuristic that is inspired by the shortest path searching behavior of various ant species [1,2]. The initial work of Dorigo, Maniezzo and Colorni [3,4] who proposed the first ACO algorithm called Ant System, has stimulated a still strongly increasing number of researchers to develop more sophisticated and better performing ACO algorithms that are used to successfully solve a large number of hard combinatorial optimization problems such as the traveling...

Multiple-instance learning with pairwise instance similarity

Liming Yuan, Jiafeng Liu, Xianglong Tang (2014)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Multiple-Instance Learning (MIL) has attracted much attention of the machine learning community in recent years and many real-world applications have been successfully formulated as MIL problems. Over the past few years, several Instance Selection-based MIL (ISMIL) algorithms have been presented by using the concept of the embedding space. Although they delivered very promising performance, they often require long computation times for instance selection, leading to a low efficiency...

A review on the ant colony optimization metaheuristic: basis, models and new trends.

Oscar Cordón, Francisco Herrera, Thomas Stützle (2002)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a recent metaheuristic method that is inspired by the behavior of real ant colonies. In this paper, we review the underlying ideas of this approach that lead from the biological inspiration to the ACO metaheuristic, which gives a set of rules of how to apply ACO algorithms to challenging combinatorial problems. We present some of the algorithms that were developed under this framework, give an overview of current applications, and analyze the relationship...

Towards a theory of practice in metaheuristics design: A machine learning perspective

Mauro Birattari, Mark Zlochin, Marco Dorigo (2006)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

A number of methodological papers published during the last years testify that a need for a thorough revision of the research methodology is felt by the operations research community – see, for example, [Barr (1995) 9–32; Eiben and Jelasity, 582–587; Hooker, (1995) 33–42; Rardin and Uzsoy, (2001) 261–304]. In particular, the performance evaluation of nondeterministic methods, including widely studied metaheuristics such as evolutionary...
