Model training is provided by IRIS flower data, which is widely used. AOA is a metaheuristic optimization method inspired by basic arithmetic functions consisting of discovery and exploitation phases. The MLP model is structured to consist of input, hidden, and output layers and is trained to classify the types of flowers in the IRIS dataset. The model"s performance was evaluated using statistical metrics such as accuracy, recall, and F1 score. Simulations were carried out using the MATLAB package program. When the results were examined, the average accuracy rate of the model was measured as 96.7%. The recall rate was 96.0% and the F1 score was 96.3%. These results show that hybridizing heuristic algorithms to AI network models can produce effective and efficient results in complex datasets.}, number={2}, publisher={Muş Alparslan Üniversitesi}
