This paper presents a modified Ant Colony Algorithm(ACA) called route-update ant colony algorithm(RUACA). The research attention is focused on improving the computational efficiency in the TSP problem. A new impact factor is introduced and proved to be effective for reducing the convergence time in the RUACA performance. In order to assess the RUACA performance, a simply supported data set of cities, which was taken as the source data in previous research using traditional ACA and genetic algorithm(GA), is chosen as a benchmark case study. Comparing with the ACA and GA results, it is shown that the presented RUACA has successfully solved the TSP problem. The results of the proposed algorithm are found to be satisfactory.

The difficulty of English text recognition lies in fuzzy image text classification and part-of-speech classification. Traditional models have a high error rate in English text recognition. In order to improve the effect of English text recognition, guided by machine learning ideas, this paper combines ant colony algorithm and genetic algorithm to construct an English text recognition model based on machine learning. Moreover, based on the characteristics of ant colony intelligent algorithm optimization, a method of using ant colony algorithm to solve the central node is proposed. In addition, this paper uses the ant colony algorithm to obtain the characteristic points in the study area and determine a reasonable number, and then combine the uniform grid to select some non-characteristic points as the central node of the core function, and finally use the central node with a reasonable distribution for modeling. Finally, this paper designs experiments to verify the performance of the model constructed in this paper and combines mathematical statistics to visually display the experimental results using tables and graphs. The research results show that the performance of the model constructed in this paper is good.

Support vector machine (SVM) is suitable for the classification problem which is of small sample, nonlinear, high dimension. SVM in data preprocessing phase, often use genetic algorithm for feature extraction, although it can improve the accuracy of classification. But in feature extraction stage the weak directivity of genetic algorithm impact the time and accuracy of the classification. The ant colony algorithm is used in genetic algorithm selection stage, which is better for the data pretreatment, so as to improve the classification speed and accuracy. The experiment in the KDD99 data set shows that this method is feasible.

The flow shop scheduling problems with fuzzy processing times are investigated in this paper. For some special kinds of fuzzy numbers, the analytic formulas of the fuzzy compltion time can be obtained. For the general bell-shaped fuzzy numbers, we present a computational procedure to obtain the approximated membership function of the fuzzy completion time. We define a defuzzification function to rank the fuzzy numbers. Under this ranking concept among fuzzy numbers, we plan to minimize the fuzzy makespan and total weighted fuzzy completion time. Because the ant colony algorithm has been successfully used to solve the scheduling problems with real-valued processing times, we shall also apply the ant colony algorithm to search for the best schedules when the processing times are assumed as fuzzy numbers. Numerical examples are also provided and solved by using the commercial software MATLAB.
