Landmarks and ant search strategies after interrupted tandem runs.
During a tandem run, a single leading ant recruits a single follower to an important resource such as a new nest. To examine this process, we used a motorized gantry, which has not previously been used in ant studies, to track tandem running ants accurately in a large arena and we compared their performance in the presence of different types of landmark. We interrupted tandem runs by taking awa...
متن کاملAnt Search Strategies For Planning Optimization
In this paper a planning framework based on Ant Colony Optimization techniques is presented. It is well known that finding optimal solutions to planning problems is a very hard computational problem. Stochastic methods do not guarantee either optimality or completeness, but it has been proved that in many applications they are able to find very good, often optimal, solutions. We propose several...
متن کاملANT COLONY SEARCH METHOD IN PRACTICAL STRUCTURAL OPTIMIZATION
This paper is concerned with application and evaluation of ant colony optimization (ACO) method to practical structural optimization problems. In particular, a size optimum design of pin-jointed truss structures is considered with ACO such that the members are chosen from ready sections for minimum weight design. The application of the algorithm is demonstrated using two design examples with pr...
متن کاملDCU Search Runs at MediaEval 2014 Search and Hyperlinking
We described Dublin City University (DCU)’s participation in the Search sub-task of the Search and Hyperlinking Task at MediaEval 2014. Exploratory experiments were carried out to investigate the utility of prosodic prominence features in the task of retrieving relevant video segments from a collection of BBC videos. Normalised acoustic correlates of loudness, pitch, and duration were incorpora...
متن کاملInterrupted visual searches reveal volatile search memory.
This study investigated memory from interrupted visual searches. Participants conducted a change detection search task on polygons overlaid on scenes. Search was interrupted by various disruptions, including unfilled delay, passive viewing of other scenes, and additional search on new displays. Results showed that performance was unaffected by short intervals of unfilled delay or passive viewin...
