Abstract: This contribution shows the feasibility of improving the modeling of the non-linear behavior of airborne pollution in large cities. In previous works, models have been constructed using many machine learning algorithms. However, many of them do not work for all the pollutants, or are not consistent or robust for all cities. In this paper, an improved algorithm is proposed using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) employing models created by a neuro-fuzzy system. This method results in a reduction of prediction error, which results in a more reliable prediction models obtained.
