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

Table 1

Framework for reviewing existing methods.

Methodology	Core modules	Classification specific modules
Mapping AntMiner variants to a comparable ACO methodology	Identifying reported strategies for implementing core AntMiner modules	What are different ways to
	1. Transition probability function	6. Evaluate rule quality
	2. Heuristic value function	7. Prune constructed rules
	3. Pheromone updating strategy	8. Classify an unseen instance
	4. Evaluation of rule quality	9. How to handle multiclass problems
	5. Handling continuous attributes
