Experimental analysis of firefly algorithms for divisive clustering of web documents

This paper studies two clustering algorithms that are based on the Firefly Algorithm (FA) which is a recent swarm intelligence approach.We perform experiments utilizing the Newton’s Universal Gravitation Inspired Firefly Algorithm (GFA) and Weight-Based Firefly Algorithm (WFA) on the 20_newsgroups d...
