An Ensemble Feature Selection Model using Fast Convergence Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm

Feature Subset Selection Using Ant Colony Optimization

Feature selection is an important step in many pattern classification problems. It is applied to select a subset of features, from a much larger set, such that the selected subset is sufficient to perform the classification task. Due to its importance, the problem of feature selection has been investigated by many researchers. In this paper, a novel feature subset search procedure that utilizes...

Ant Colony Optimization Toward Feature Selection

Ant Colony Optimization for Feature Subset Selection

The Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a metaheuristic inspired by the behavior of real ants in their search for the shortest paths to food sources. It has recently attracted a lot of attention and has been successfully applied to a number of different optimization problems. Due to the importance of the feature selection problem and the potential of ACO, this paper presents a novel method that ut...

An Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm for Network Vulnerability Analysis

Intruders often combine exploits against multiple vulnerabilities in order to break into the system. Each attack scenario is a sequence of exploits launched by an intruder that leads to an undesirable state such as access to a database, service disruption, etc. The collection of possible attack scenarios in a computer network can be represented by a directed graph, called network attack gra...

Feature Selection Technique Using Ant Colony Optimization on Keystroke Dynamics

The work is concerned with the use of Ant Colony Optimization algorithm for feature selection of Keystrokes Dynamics and comparison of classification accuracy of Multi-SVM and KNN classifiers. There are various approaches used for feature subset selection but, ACO algorithm gives good performance than other feature selection algorithm like Genetic Based algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization...
