Abstract. The problem of imbalanced training data in supervised methods is currently receiving growing attention. Imbalanced data means that one class is much more represented than the others in the training sample. It has been observed that this situation, which arises in several practical domains, may produce an important deterioration of the classification accuracy, in particular with patterns belonging to the less represented classes. In the present paper, we report experimental results that point at the convenience of correctly downsizing the majority class while simultaneously increasing the size of the minority one in order to balance both classes. This is obtained by applying a modification of the previously proposed Decontamination methodology. Combination of this proposal with the employment of a weighted distance function is also explored.
This paper compares different squirrel cage designs under starting and running performance. Inrush current, torque, stall time, maximum number of consecutive starts, efficiency, power factor, critical speed and cage stress are discussed along the paper while considering aluminum and a copper alloy cages. For the sake of comparison two machines were selected to perform the study -one 4-pole 6500 HP and one 18-pole 3500 HP. In addition, procedures of repairing fabricated copper and aluminum cages are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
