Fully Controllable Ant Colony System for Text Data Clustering

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 7269))

Abstract

The paper presents a new Fully Controllable Ant Colony Algorithm (FCACA) for the clustering of the text documents in vector space. The proposed new FCACA is a modified version of the Lumer and Faieta Ant Colony Algorithm (LF-ACA). The algorithm introduced new version of the basic heuristic decision function significantly improves the convergence and greater control over the process of the grouping data. The proposed solution was shown in a text example proving efficiency of the proposed solution in comparison with other grouping algorithms.
