Classification of vocal and non-vocal segments in audio clips using genetic algorithm based feature selection (GAFS)

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel set of features based on the formant structure has been proposed.

• Evolutionary based feature selection has been proposed to obtain optimal feature set.

• Comparative analysis has been made with the available feature selection algorithms.

• Two datasets and four different classifiers are considered for comparative study.

• The concept of n-point moving window is introduced to improve the classification.
