The Ant Colony Optimization of Clustering Problems in Data Mining

Abstract

Clustering analysis is widely used in engineering, it is an important part of data mining. Ant colony algorithm has robust and adaptable characters as new optimization algorithm. This research describes ant colony clustering algorithms characteristics, according to the existing ant colony algorithms. Although ant colony algorithm has obtained many improvements, there are many researches and applications in data clustering, but there are still some deficiencies that need further study.
