AI Article Synopsis

  • The imbalance problem in datasets makes it tough for classifiers to learn proper decision boundaries, leading to poor classification performance.
  • Various ensemble algorithms have been created to tackle imbalance issues, but they often ignore the potential of effective feature space exploration and treat all base classifiers equally without recognizing their different impacts.
  • Our proposed algorithm combines advanced data transformation with adaptive weighted voting, using modified metric learning for better feature space and assigning varying weights to base classifiers, showing promising results in experiments with imbalanced datasets.

Article Abstract

The imbalance problem is widespread in real-world applications. When training a classifier on the imbalance datasets, the classifier is hard to learn an appropriate decision boundary, which causes unsatisfying classification performance. To deal with the imbalance problem, various ensemble algorithms are proposed. However, conventional ensemble algorithms do not consider exploring an effective feature space to further improve the performance. In addition, they treat the base classifiers equally and ignore the different contributions of each base classifier to the ensemble result. In order to address these problems, we propose a novel ensemble algorithm that combines effective data transformation and an adaptive weighted voting scheme. First, we utilize modified metric learning to obtain an effective feature space based on imbalanced data. Next, the base classifiers are assigned different weights adaptively. The experiments on multiple imbalanced datasets, including images and biomedical datasets verify the superiority of our proposed ensemble algorithm.

Multiclass imbalance is a challenging problem in real-world datasets, where certain classes may have a low number of samples because they correspond to rare occurrences. To address the challenge of multiclass imbalance, this paper introduces a novel hybrid cluster-based oversampling and undersampling (HCBOU) technique. By clustering and separating classes into majority and minority categories, this algorithm retains the most information during undersampling while generating efficient data in the minority class.

Background: Acute pain management is critical in postoperative care, especially in vulnerable patient populations that may be unable to self-report pain levels effectively. Current methods of pain assessment often rely on subjective patient reports or behavioral pain observation tools, which can lead to inconsistencies in pain management. Multimodal pain assessment, integrating physiological and behavioral data, presents an opportunity to create more objective and accurate pain measurement systems.

Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality, with disparities in incidence and outcomes observed across different racial and sex groups. Understanding the genetic factors of these disparities is critical for developing targeted treatment therapies. This study aims to identify both patient-specific and cohort-specific biomarker genes that contribute to lung cancer health disparities among African American males (AAMs), European American males (EAMs), African American females (AAFs), and European American females (EAFs).

Forecasting student performance with precision in the educational space is paramount for creating tailor-made interventions capable to boost learning effectiveness. It means most of the traditional student performance prediction models have difficulty in dealing with multi-dimensional academic data, can cause sub-optimal classification and generate a simple generalized insight. To address these challenges of the existing system, in this research we propose a new model Multi-dimensional Student Performance Prediction Model (MSPP) that is inspired by advanced data preprocessing and feature engineering techniques using deep learning.
