Abstract:In this paper, a new oversampling method is proposed to improve the representativeness of minority groups in the training data set. Our methodology creates artificial (synthetic) examples on basis the spatial distribution of the classes. The original data are expanded (duplicated) along the lines connecting the class centroid and each minority pattern under consideration. In contrast to other methods known in literature (as SMOTE), our geometric approach for data generation has the advantage of being accomplis… Show more
