Swarm intelligence based algorithms for data clustering

This paper provides an introduction of the Swarm Intelligence with a special emphasis on Particle Swarm Optimization and Ant Colony Optimization at first. The basic data clustering terminologies are explained. Some of the past and ongoing works based on swarm intelligence techniques are discussed. Afterwards this paper describes the use of the Swarm Intelligence algorithms in data clustering. Finally the data clustering algorithms based on the Swarm Intelligence are analyzed and discussed.
