In the existing artificial immune network algorithms, the calculating affinity for classifying is based on calculating a certain distance, which may lead to some unsatisfactory results in dealing with data with nominal attributes. To overcome the shortcoming, the association rules are introduced into AIN algorithm, and we propose a new classification algorithm an associate rules mining algorithm based on artificial immune network (ARM-AIN). The new method uses the association rules to represent immune cells and mine the best association rules rather than searching optimal clustering centers. The proposed algorithm has been extensively compared with artificial immune network classification (AINC) algorithm, artificial immune network classification algorithm based on self-adaptive PSO (SPSO-AINC), and PSO-AINC over several large-scale data sets, target recognition of remote sensing image, and segmentation of three different SAR images. The result of experiment indicates the superiority of ARM-AIN in classification accuracy and running time.2 Mathematical Problems in Engineering stages of the training process are driven by clonal selection, and some remove redundancy through the interaction of antibody. In 2012, a segmentation algorithm which is based on the negative selection mechanism of the artificial immune system was proposed in [5]. Experiments show that the algorithm has a good performance on the segmentation threshold subjectively. Recently, Fu et al. proposed a coordinated immune network template algorithm [6], and it added a coordination mechanism between innate immunity and adaptive immunity in order to extract targets from blurred infrared images. More recently, an image segmentation method for blurred trace infrared images was proposed in [7], which was considered the function of immune factors for blurred infrared image segmentation. The simulation results show that this method can improve the target segmentation rate and reduce the segmentation error rate.
