Auto-TLDR; Efficient Ensemble of Classifiers for Minority Class Inference

Slides Poster Similar

Class imbalance limits the performance of most learning algorithms, resulting in a low recognition rate for samples belonging to the minority class. Although there are different strategies to address this problem, methods that generate ensemble of classifiers have proven to be effective in several applications. This paper presents a new strategy to construct the training set of each classifier in the ensemble by exploiting information in the feature space that can give rise to unreliable classifications, which are determined by a novel algorithm here introduced. The performance of our proposal is compared against multiple standard ensemble approaches on 25 publicly available datasets, showing promising results.
