Boundary Bagging to Address Training Data Issues in Ensemble Classification
Auto-TLDR; Bagging Ensemble Learning for Multi-Class Imbalanced Classification
The characteristics of training data is a fundamental consideration when constructing any supervised classifier. Class mislabelling and imbalance are major training data issues that often adversely affect machine learning algorithms, including ensembles. This work proposes extended bagging algorithms to better handle noisy and multi-class imbalanced classification tasks. These algorithms upgrade the sampling procedure by taking benefit of the confidence in ensemble classification outcome. The underlying idea is that a bagging ensemble learning algorithm can achieve greater performance if it is allowed to choose the data from which it learns. The effectiveness of the proposed methods is demonstrated in performing classification on 10 various data sets.
