	abstract = {Feature selection of noise sources is important for noise sources detection and classification. In this paper, a new rough set based feature selection method has been given. Based on the method, a noise sources automatic classification system (NSACS) has been designed and validated. The key idea of the method is that most effective features can distinguish the most number of samples belonging to different classes of noise sources, if they are used for classification. This new approach has been applied into the system NSACS to select relevant features for artificial datasets and real-world datasets and the results have shown that this approach can correctly select all the relevant features of artificial datasets and at the same time it can drastically reduce the number of features. From the experiments, it can be found that to consider all the five datasets, the number of classification features after selection drops to 35\% and the accurate classification rate increases about 14\%. For the underwater noise sources dataset the number of features drops to 1/5 and the accurate classification rate increases about 6\% after feature selection.},
