The effect of using evolutionary algorithms on Ant Clustering Techniques

Ant-based clustering is a biologically inspired data clustering technique. In this technique, multiple agents carry the information to be clustered, and make local comparisons. In this work we use genetic algorithms to improve the implementation and use of ant-clustering techniques.
