Classification rule mining is an important function of data mining, and is applied in many data analysis tasks. The classification rule mining algorithm based-on ant colony optimization (ACO) is researched in this paper. Some improvements are implemented based on existing research to enhance classification predictive accuracy and simplicity of rules. Ant-based algorithms or ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms have been applied successfully to combinatorial optimization problems. The algorithm is realized under the GALIB247 tool.
