Abstract :
In this paper, we introduce the ant clustering algorithm which is based on ant clustering behavior, and apply the ant clustering algorithm to the client type of data mining. On this basis, we propose a customer clustering algorithm which is based on ant colony algorithm and data mining technology, using this method to achieve the classification of customers.
