Abstract

Feature selection is an important prerequisite for music classification which in turn is becoming more and more ubiquitous since entering the digital music age. Automated classification into genres or even personal categories is currently envisioned even for standard mobile devices. However, classifiers often fail to work well with all available features, and simple greedy methods often fail to select good feature sets, making feature selection for music classification a natural field of application for evolutionary approaches in general, and multi-objective evolutionary algorithms in particular. In this work, we study the potential of applying such a multi-objective evolutionary optimization algorithm for feature selection with different objective sets. The result is promising, thus calling for deeper investigations of this approach.
