Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Efficient Ant Algorithm for Swarm-Based Image ClusteringSalima Ouadfel, Mohamed BatoucheA collective approach to resolve the segmentation problem was proposed. AntClust is a new ant-based algorithm that uses the self-organizing and autonomous brood sorting behavior observed in real ants. Ants and pixels are scatted on a discrete array of cells represented the ants’ environment. Using simple local rules and without any central control, ants form homogeneous clusters by moving pixels … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDocument Clustering Based on Firefly AlgorithmAthraa Jasim Mohammed, Yuhanis Yusof, Husniza HusniDocument clustering is widely used in Information Retrieval however, existing clustering techniques suffer from local optima problem in determining the k number of clusters. Various efforts have been put to address such drawback and this includes the utilization of swarm-based algorithms such as particle swarm optimization and Ant Colony Optimization. This study explores the adaptation of another swarm algorithm which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 26 Mar 2015 · 7,510 accessesView PDFCite
