Indeed, the proposed approach was modelled as a classifier method to control the convergence through the dynamic adaptation of the α parameter that weighs the relative influence of the pheromone. The implementation was tested on several Travelling Salesman Problem~(TSP) instances with different number of cities. The proposed approach was compared with the standard ACS and the existing fuzzy logic~in the literature. The experimental results illustrate that the proposed method shows better performance. {\textcopyright} 2020, The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-58930-1_17}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85097964733\&doi=10.1007\%2f978-3-030-58930-1_17\&partnerID=40\&md5=220c02fd7287bc58dc79db86db73282b}, author = {Bouzbita, S. and Afia, A.E. and Faizi, R.} } @conference {Moumen20181, title = {An NLP based text-to-speech synthesizer for Moroccan Arabic}, booktitle = {Proceedings of 2017 International Conference of Cloud Computing Technologies and Applications, CloudTech 2017}, volume = {2018-January}, year = {2018}, pages = {1-5}, doi = {10.1109/CloudTech.2017.8284745}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85046676982\&doi=10.1109\%2fCloudTech.2017.8284745\&partnerID=40\&md5=9ca745be5c63a00cda019ef8b0230a9d}, author = {Moumen, R. and Chiheb, R. and Faizi, R. and Afia, A.E.} } @conference {Admi2018, title = {A novel mser based method for detecting text in license plates}, booktitle = {ACM International Conference Proceeding Series}, year = {2018}, doi = {10.1145/3230905.3230923}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85053484803\&doi=10.1145\%2f3230905.3230923\&partnerID=40\&md5=e4a83cc458bcdf11fbe9b492ea53bb87}, author = {Admi, M. and Fkihi, S.E. and Faizi, R.} } @conference {Bouzbita2017633, title = {A novel based Hidden Markov Model approach for controlling the ACS-TSP evaporation parameter}, booktitle = {International Conference on Multimedia Computing and Systems -Proceedings}, year = {2017}, note = {cited By 0}, pages = {633-638}, abstract = {The aim of this paper is to propose a new method capable of dynamically controlling the evaporation parameter in an Ant Colony System (ACS) using a Hidden Markov Model. The purpose is to improve the performance of ACS by controlling the exploration and exploitation in the search space. To this end, two HMM approaches are proposed. The first is a training method that best suits the observed data of the Hidden Markov Model. The second is a method that dynamically controls the adapted parameter by applying several processes. To test our algorithm we used a set of Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) instances. {\textcopyright} 2016 IEEE.}, doi = {10.1109/ICMCS.2016.7905544}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85019108752\&doi=10.1109\%2fICMCS.2016.7905544\&partnerID=40\&md5=2acc848761420a801ab6567757203ac4}, author = {Bouzbita, S. and El Afia, A. and Faizi, R.} } @conference {Moumen2017, title = {A novel text-to-speech synthesizer for processing sms in moroccan Arabic}, booktitle = {Proceedings of International Conference on Computers and Industrial Engineering, CIE}, year = {2017}, note = {cited By 0}, abstract = {This paper proposes a novel text-to-speech (TTS) system that converts text messages (SMS) into speech sequences.
