Bayesian Ant Colony Optimization/Evidence
Method evidence record

Bayesian Ant Colony Optimization

Bayesian Ant Colony Optimization (BACO) is a hybrid metaheuristic that embeds Bayesian inference into the Ant Colony Optimization framework. By treating pheromone intensities or algorithm parameters as probability distributions updated with collected evidence, BACO improves convergence reliability and robustness compared to classical ACO on noisy or uncertain combinatorial optimization problems.
