Abstract

Discovering classification rules from large data is an important task of data mining and is gaining considerable attention. This article presents a novel ant miner for classification rule mining. Our ant miner is inspired by research on the behavior of real ant colonies, simulated annealing, and some data mining concepts as well as principles. Here we present a Michigan style approach for single objective classification rule mining. The algorithm is tested on a few benchmark datasets drawn from UCI repository. Our experimental outcomes confirm that ant miner-HMC (Hybrid Michigan Style Classification) is significantly better than ant-miner-MC (Michigan Style Classification).
