ACO approaches for large scale information retrieval

Ant Colony Optimization for Resource Allocation and Anomaly Detection in Communication Networks

“…Information Retrieval is another field where ACO found application, as proposed by [32,33]. The problem in the information retrieval system consists in finding a set of documents including information expressed in a query specifying user needs.…”

“…The process involves a matching mechanism between the query and the documents of the collection. In [32], Drias et. al designed two ACO algorithms, named AC-IR and ACS-IR.…”
