چکیده

Learning from imbalanced datasets has drawn more and more attentions from both theoretical and practical aspects. Over-sampling is a popular and simple method for imbalanced learning. In this paper, we show that there is an inherently potential risk associated with the oversampling algorithms in terms of the large margin principle. Then we propose a new synthetic over sampling method, named Margin-guided Synthetic Over-sampling (MSYN), to reduce this risk. The MSYN improves learning with respect to the data distributions guided by the marginbased rule. Empirical study verities the efficacy of MSYN.

Proposing a Novel Cost Sensitive Imbalanced Classification Method based on Hybrid of New Fuzzy Cost Assigning Approaches, Fuzzy Clustering and Evolutionary Algorithms

In this paper, a new hybrid methodology is introduced to design a cost-sensitive fuzzy rule-based classification system. A novel cost metric is proposed based on the combination of three different concepts: Entropy, Gini index and DKM criterion. In order to calculate the effective cost of patterns, a hybrid of fuzzy c-means clustering and particle swarm optimization algorithm is utilized. This ...

CUSBoost: Cluster-based Under-sampling with Boosting for Imbalanced Classification

Class imbalance classification is a challenging research problem in data mining and machine learning, as most of the real-life datasets are often imbalanced in nature. Existing learning algorithms maximise the classification accuracy by correctly classifying the majority class, but misclassify the minority class. However, the minority class instances are representing the concept with greater in...

LIUBoost : Locality Informed Underboosting for Imbalanced Data Classification

The problem of class imbalance along with classoverlapping has become a major issue in the domain of supervised learning. Most supervised learning algorithms assume equal cardinality of the classes under consideration while optimizing the cost function and this assumption does not hold true for imbalanced datasets which results in sub-optimal classification. Therefore, various approaches, such ...
