Applications of harmony search algorithm in data mining: A survey

Abstract

The harmony search (HS) is a music-inspired algorithm that appeared in the year 2001. Since its introduction HS has undergone a lot of changes and has been applied to diverse disciplines. The aim of this paper is to inform readers about the HS applications in data mining. The review is expected to provide an outlook on the use of HS in data mining, especially for those researchers who are keen to explore the algorithm’s capabilities in data mining.
