With the development of industrial processes, how to effectively diagnose the faults in an increasingly complex production process has attracted widespread attention. It is worth noting that there may be multiple types of faults in the actual industrial process, and there is an extreme class imbalance between the normal samples and the fault samples. Therefore, it is of practical significance to carry out research on the multi-fault diagnosis method for class-imbalanced data. In this paper, a multi-fault diagnosis method based on improved synthetic minority sampling technology (SMOTE) is proposed. First, aiming at the class imbalance, an improved SMOTE algorithm based on Mahalanobis distance (Mahalanobis distance-based SMOTE [MSMOTE]) is proposed for over-
