The class imbalance problem in deep learning

Machine Learning, 2022
Deep learning has recently unleashed the ability for Machine learning (ML) to make unparalleled strides. It did so by confronting and successfully addressing, at least to a certain extent, the knowledge bottleneck that paralyzed ML and artificial intelligence for decades.

The CURE for Class Imbalance

2019
Addressing the class imbalance problem is critical for several real world applications. The application of pre-processing methods is a popular way of dealing with this problem. These solutions increase the rare class examples and/or decrease the normal class cases.

Exploratory Under-Sampling for Class-Imbalance Learning

Sixth International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM'06), 2006
Undersampling is a popular method in dealing with class-imbalance problems, which uses only a subset of the majority class and thus is very efficient. The main deficiency is that many majority class examples are ignored. We propose two algorithms to overcome this deficiency. EasyEnsemble samples several subsets from the majority class, trains a learner

Fighting Class Imbalance with Contrastive Learning

2021
Medical image datasets are hard to collect, expensive to label, and often highly imbalanced. The last issue is underestimated, as typical average metrics hardly reveal that the often very important minority classes have a very low accuracy. In this paper, we address this problem by a feature embedding that balances the classes using contrastive ...

Ordinal Class Imbalance with Ranking

2017
Classification datasets, which feature a skewed class distribution, are said to be class imbalance. Traditional methods favor the larger classes. We propose pairwise ranking as a method for imbalance classification so that learning compares pairs of observations from each class, and therefore both contribute equally to the decision boundary.

Class imbalance and the curse of minority hubs

Knowledge-Based Systems, 2013
Most machine learning tasks involve learning from high-dimensional data, which is often quite difficult to handle. Hubness is an aspect of the curse of dimensionality that was shown to be highly detrimental to k-nearest neighbor methods in high-dimensional feature spaces.

Class imbalances versus small disjuncts

ACM SIGKDD Explorations Newsletter, 2004
It is often assumed that class imbalances are responsible for significant losses of performance in standard classifiers. The purpose of this paper is to the question whether class imbalances are truly responsible for this degradation or whether it can be explained in some other way.

The Class Imbalance Problem

2016
We focus on a special category of pattern recognition problems that arise in cases when the set of training patterns is significantly biased towards a particular class of patterns. This is the so-called Class Imbalance Problem which hinders the performance of many standard classifiers.

Multi-Imbalance: An open-source software for multi-class imbalance learning

Knowledge-Based Systems, 2019
Abstract Imbalance classification is one of the most challenging research problems in machine learning. Techniques for two-class imbalance classification are relatively mature nowadays, yet multi-class imbalance learning is still an open problem. Moreover, the community lacks a suitable software tool that can integrate the major works in the field ...

Active learning for class imbalance problem

Proceedings of the 30th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval, 2007
The class imbalance problem has been known to hinder the learning performance of classification algorithms. Various real-world classification tasks such as text categorization suffer from this phenomenon. We demonstrate that active learning is capable of solving the problem.
