a new meta-heuristic method, based on neuronal communication (nc), is introduced in this article. the neuronal communication illustrates how data is exchanged between neurons in neural system. actually, this pattern works efficiently in the nature. the present paper shows it is the same to find the global minimum. in addition, since few numbers of neurons participate in each step of the method,...

This paper proposes benchmarks for systems of automatic sense identification. A textual corpus in which open-class words had been tagged both syntactically and semantically was used to explore three statistical strategies for sense identification: a guessing heuristic, a most-frequent heuristic, and a co-occurrence heuristic. When no information about sense-frequencies was available, the guessi...

As a swarm-based optimization heuristic, the Ant System (AS) was proposed to deal with Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). Classifified as constructive approach, AS inspired by ants’ social behavior.In Practice, its implementation reveals three basic variants that exploit two operating models: fifirst “natural” model, where ants move and update pheromones, consideration of distances between towns...
