Adaptive Feature-Space Conformal Transformation for Imbalanced-Data Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
When the training instances of the target class are heavily outnumbered by non-target training instances, SVMs can be ineffective in determining the class boundary. To remedy this problem, we propose an adaptive conformal transformation (ACT) algorithm. ACT considers feature-space distance and the class-imbalance ratio when it performs conformal transformation on a kernel function. Experimental results on UCI and real-world datasets show ACT to be effective in improving class prediction accuracy.

Enhancing Learning from Imbalanced Classes via Data Preprocessing: A Data-Driven Application in Metabolomics Data Mining
This paper presents a data mining application in metabolomics. It aims at building an enhanced machine learning classifier that can be used for diagnosing cachexia syndrome and identifying its involved biomarkers. To achieve this goal, a data-driven analysis is carried out using a public dataset consisting of 1H-NMR metabolite profile. This dataset suffers from the problem of imbalanced classes...
متن کاملAdapted ensemble classification algorithm based on multiple classifier system and feature selection for classifying multi-class imbalanced data
Learning from imbalanced data, where the number of observations in one class is significantly rarer than in other classes, has gained considerable attention in the data mining community. Most existing literature focuses on binary imbalanced case while multi-class imbalanced learning is barely mentioned. What’s more, most proposed algorithms treated all imbalanced data consistently and aimed to ...
متن کاملOne-Class Support Vector Machines with a Conformal Kernel. A Case Study in Handling Class Imbalance
Class imbalance is a widespread problem in many classification tasks such as medical diagnosis and text categorization. To overcome this problem, we investigate one-class SVMs which can be trained to differentiate two classes on the basis of examples from a single class. We propose an improvement of one-class SVMs via a conformal kernel transformation as described in the context of binary SVM c...
متن کاملResampling Imbalanced Class and the Effectiveness of Feature Selection Methods for Heart Failure Dataset
Clinical datasets commonly have an imbalanced class distribution and high dimensional variables. Imbalanced class means that one class is represented by a large number (majority) of samples more than another (minority) one in binary classification [1]. For example, in our research dataset there are 1459 instances classified as “Alive” while 485 are classified as “Dead”. Machine learning is gene...
