Class Weight
Class weighting is a technique used in machine learning to address class imbalance, where some categories in a dataset are significantly under-represented compared to others. Current research focuses on developing effective class weighting strategies within various machine learning models, including those used for image segmentation, object detection, and speech recognition, often incorporating gradient-based methods or integrating class weighting with other techniques like adversarial learning or focal loss. These advancements aim to improve model performance on minority classes, leading to more robust and equitable predictions across all categories, with applications ranging from medical image analysis to natural language processing. The ultimate goal is to develop more reliable and generalizable machine learning models that are less susceptible to bias introduced by imbalanced data.
