Sumario:Accurate music tag classification of music clips has been attracting great attention recently, because it allows one to provide various music excerpts, including unpopular ones, to users based on the clips’ acoustic similarities. Given a user’s preferred music, acoustic features are extracted and then fed into the classifier, which outputs the related tag to recommend new music. Furthermore, the accuracy of the tag classifiers can be improved by selecting the best feature subset based on the domain to which the tag belongs. However, recent studies have struggled to evaluate the superiority of various classifiers because they utilize different feature extractors. In this study, to conduct a direct comparison of existing methods of classification, we create 20 music datasets with the same acoustic feature structure. In addition, we propose an effective evolutionary feature selection algorithm to evaluate the effectiveness of feature selection for tag classification. Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed method improves the accuracy of tag classification, and the analysis with multiple datasets provides valuable insights, such as the important features for general music tag classification in target domains.
