Many real-world domains present the problem of imbalanced data sets, where examples of one classes significantly outnumber examples of other classes. This makes learning difficult, as learning algorithms based on optimizing accuracy over all training examples will tend to classify all examples as belonging to the majority class. We introduce a method to deal with this problem by means of creati...

In this paper, novel cost-sensitive principal component analysis (CSPCA) and cost-sensitive non-negative matrix factorization (CSNMF) methods are proposed for handling the problem of feature extraction from imbalanced data. The presence of highly imbalanced data misleads existing feature extraction techniques to produce biased features, which results in poor classi cation performance especially...

Imbalanced class problems appear in many real applications of classification learning. We propose a novel sampling method to improve bagging for data sets with skewed class distributions. In our new sampling method “Roughly Balanced Bagging” (RB Bagging), the number of samples in the largest and smallest classes are different, but they are effectively balanced when averaged over all subsets, wh...

Fuzzy rule-based classification system (FRBCS) is a popular machine learning technique for classification purposes. One of the major issues when applying it on imbalanced data sets is its biased to the majority class, such that, it performs poorly in respect to the minority class. However many cases the minority classes are more important than the majority ones. In this paper, we have extended ...

The paper discusses problems of constructing classifiers from imbalanced data. Re-sampling approaches that change the original class distribution are often used to improve performance of classifiers for the minority class. We describe a new approach to selective pre-processing of imbalanced data which combines local over-sampling of the minority class with filtering difficult examples from majo...

Learning from class-imbalanced data continues to be a common and challenging problem in supervised learning as standard classification algorithms are designed to handle balanced class distributions. While different strategies exist to tackle this problem, methods which generate artificial data to achieve a balanced class distribution are more versatile than modifications to the classification a...

Imbalanced classification techniques have been applied widely in the field of data mining. It is used to classify imbalanced classes that are not equal number samples. The problem performance tends class with more samples while few will obtain poor performance. This can be occurred Qur’anic due different verses. Many studies classified verses, which depended on traditional classification. Howev...

Wireless capsule endoscopy involves inspection of hours of video material by a highly qualified professional. Time episodes corresponding to intestinal contractions, which are of interest to the physician constitute about 1% of the video. The problem is to label automatically time episodes containing contractions so that only a fraction of the video needs inspection. As the classes of contracti...

We address the analysis of fish trajectories in unconstrained underwater videos to help marine biologist to detect new/rare fish behaviours and to detect environmental changes which can be observed from the abnormal behaviour of fish. The fish trajectories are separated into normal and abnormal classes which indicate the common behaviour of fish and the behaviours that are rare/ unusual respect...

The vast majority of real world classification problems are imbalanced, meaning there are far fewer data from the class of interest (the positive class) than from other classes. We propose two machine learning algorithms to handle highly imbalanced classification problems. The classifiers are disjunctions of conjunctions, and are created as unions of parallel axis rectangles around the positive...
