An Ant Colony Optimization Based on Information Entropy for Constraint Satisfaction Problems.
Article in Entropy (Basel, Switzerland), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Solving the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is to find an assignment of values to variables that satisfies a set of constraints. Ant colony optimization (ACO) is an efficient algorithm for solving CSPs. However, the existing ACO-based algorithms suffer from the constructed assignment with high cost. To improve the solution quality of ACO for solving CSPs, an ant colony optimization based on information entropy (ACOE) is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm can automatically call a crossover-based local search according to real-time information entropy. We first describe ACOE for solving CSPs and show how it constructs assignments. Then, we use a ranking-based strategy to update the pheromone, which weights the pheromone according to the rank of these ants. Furthermore, we introduce the crossover-based local search that uses a crossover operation to optimize the current best assignment. Finally, we compare ACOE with seven algorithms on binary CSPs. The experimental results revealed that our method outperformed the other compared algorithms in terms of the cost comparison, data distribution, convergence performance, and hypothesis test.
