Ant Colony Optimization

A Python implementation of the Ant Colony Optimization algorithm for generating solutions to such tasks as the Traveling Salesman Problem

Example Usage

problem = some_distance_matrix
optimizer = AntColonyOptimizer(ants=10, evaporation_rate=.1, intensification=2, alpha=1, beta=1,
                               beta_evaporation_rate=0, choose_best=.1)
 
best = optimizer.fit(problem, 100)
optimizer.plot()

Example Plot

Now 20x faster than my first attempt!
