Models of the bee-colony method are analyzed with a view to solving optimization problems. Biological foundations of the method are considered and a description of the behavior of a bee colony is formalized with a view to modelling it. To solve feature selection problems, a modification of the bee colony method is proposed for the first time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
