Genetic Algorithms (GA), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Artificial Bee Colonies (ABC) are some vital nature inspired computing (NIC) techniques. These approaches have been used in early prophecy of various diseases. This article analyzes the efficacy of various NIC techniques in diagnosing diverse critical human disorders. It is observed that GA, ACO, PSO and ABC have been successfully used in early diagnosis of different diseases. As compared to ACO, PSO and ABC algorithms, GA has been extensively used in diagnosis of ecology, cardiology and endocrinologist. In addition, from the last six years of research, it has been observed that the accuracy accomplished using GA, ACO, PSO and ABC in the early diagnosis of cancer, diabetes and cardio problems lies between 73.5%-99.7%, 70%-99.2%, 80%-98% and 76.4% to 99.98% respectively. Furthermore, ACO, PSO and ABC are found to be best suited in diagnosing lung, prostate and breast cancer respectively. Moreover, the hybrid use of NIC techniques produces better results as compared to their individual use.
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.
