Highly skewed datasets, where > the minority is heavily outnumbered by one or more classes, have proven to be > a challenge while at the same time becoming more and more common. > One way of addressing this issue is by re-sampling the dataset as to offset > this imbalance with the hope of arriving at a more robust and fair decision > boundary than you would otherwise. > Re-sampling techniques can be divided in these categories: > * Under-sampling the majority class(es). > * Over-sampling the minority class. > * Combining over- and under-sampling. > * Create ensemble balanced sets.” > There is an extensive literature on balancing datasets. The plan for MADlib > in the initial phase is to offer basic functionality that can be extended in > later phases based on feedback from users. > Please see attached document for proposed scope of this story. > References > [1] imbalance-learn Python project > http://contrib.scikit-learn.org/imbalanced-learn/stable/index.html > https://github.com/scikit-learn-contrib/imbalanced-learn -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
