Rule-Based Classification Based on Ant Colony Optimization: A Comprehensive Review

Figure 2

An example of ACO algorithm being used to find the optimal solution of TSP problem. In a population of two ants, (a) and (b) are the paths constructed by the two ants. The choice of an edge is probabilistically done. (c) shows how the pheromone levels on the edges are updated following an iteration.
