Abstract
En 中文
Imbalanced learning is important and challenging since the problem of the classification of imbalanced datasets is prevalent in machine learning and data mining fields. Sampling approaches are proposed to address this issue, and cluster-based oversampling methods have shown great potential as they aim to simultaneously tackle between-class and within-class imbalance issues. However, all existing clustering methods are based on a one-time approach. Due to the lack of a priori knowledge, improper setting of the number of clusters often exists, which leads to poor clustering performance. Besides, the existing methods are likely to generate noisy instances. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a deep instance envelope network-based imbalanced learning algorithm with the multilayer fuzzy c-means (MlFCM) and a minimum interlayer discrepancy mechanism based on the maximum mean discrepancy (MIDMD). This algorithm can guarantee high quality balanced instances using a deep instance envelope network in the absence of prior knowledge. First, the MlFCM is designed for the original minority class instances to obtain deep instances and increase the diversity of instances. Then, the MIDMD is proposed to avoid the generation of noisy instances and maintain the consistency of the interlayers of instances. Next, the multilayer FCM and minimum interlayer discrepancy mechanism are combined to construct a deep instance envelope network - the MlFC & IDMD. Finally, an imbalance learning algorithm is proposed based on the MlFC & IDMD. In the experimental section, thirty-three popular public datasets are used for verification, and over ten representative algorithms are used for comparison. The experimental results show that the proposed approach significantly outperforms other popular methods. (C) 2022 Published by Elsevier B.V.
