DBIG-US: A two-stage under-sampling algorithm to face the class imbalance problem

Abstract
En 中文
The class imbalance problem occurs when one class far outnumbers the other classes, causing most traditional classifiers perform poorly on the minority classes. To tackle this problem, a plethora of techniques have been proposed, especially centered around resampling methods. This paper introduces a two-stage method that combines the DBSCAN clustering algorithm to filter noisy majority class instances with a graph-based procedure to overcome the class imbalance. We then experimentally evaluate the behavior of the proposed method on a collection of two-class imbalanced data sets. The experimental results show an improvement in the classification performance measured by the geometric mean of the accuracy on each class and also a higher reduction in the imbalance ratio when compared to several state-of-the-art under-sampling techniques.
