Abstract

Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC) is known as an effective method to create media contents suited to user’s preference and objectives. As one of the methods, we have applied Differential Evolution (DE) as evolutionary algorithm in IEC. This study investigated the efficacy of Interactive Differential Evolution (IDE) in comparison with Interactive Genetic Algorithm (IGA). Two listening experiments were conducted to investigate the efficacy: experiment 1 as a creating experiment with IDE and IGA, experiment 2 as a re-evaluating experiment. Target of the creation was warning sign sounds. Eighteen subjects participated in both of the experiments. The result of the experiment 1 showed that IDE overcame IGA, and significant increase of fitness was only observed in IDE. The result of the experiment 2, higher fitness value was observed in IDE, however, the difference between the two conditions was not significant. Parts of the results showed a possibility of IDE to create media contents.
