• Ant colony optimization and data mining 

      Michelakos, I.; Mallios, N.; Papageorgiou, E.; Vassilakopoulos, M. (2011)
      The Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) technique was inspired by the ants' behavior throughout their exploration for food. In nature, ants wander randomly, seeking for food. After succeeding, they return to their nest. During ...
    • Ant colony optimization and data mining: Techniques and trends 

      Michelakos, I.; Mallios, N.; Papageorgiou, E.; Vassilakopoulos, M. (2010)
      The Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) technique was inspired by the ants' behaviour throughout their exploration for food. The use of this technique has been very successful for several problems. Besides, Data Mining (DM) has ...
    • A hybrid classification algorithm evaluated on medical data 

      Michelakos, I.; Papageorgiou, E.; Vasilakopoulos, M. (2010)
      Ant colony optimization algorithms have been applied successfully to data mining classification problems. Recently, an improved version of cAnt-Miner (Ant-Miner coping with continuous attributes), called cAnt-Miner2, has ...
    • A study of cAnt-Miner2 parameters using medical data sets 

      Michelakos, I.; Papageorgiou, E. I.; Vasilakopoulos, M. (2010)
      This paper presents a study of the user-defined parameters of the cAnt-Miner2 algorithm which extended the approach of coping with continuous attributes that was introduced by the cAnt-Miner algorithm. Experiments on two ...
