A Novel Framework Based on ACO and PSO for RNA Secondary Structure Prediction

Algorithm 1

Initialize the parameters of MACO

Randomly initialize the solutions for all the ants

While current number of iterations < Max iteration

  For each ant in the population

    For each stem

      Decide whether to select current stem according to (7)

    End for

    Evaluate the solution according to the energy.

  End for

  For each stem in the set

    Update the pheromones according to (8) and (9)

  End for

End while
