Imbalanced Medical

Imbalanced medical data, characterized by a disproportionate representation of classes (e.g., disease vs. no disease), poses a significant challenge in developing accurate and equitable machine learning models for healthcare applications. Current research focuses on mitigating this imbalance through techniques like data augmentation (e.g., using generative adversarial networks or denoising diffusion probabilistic models), algorithmic adjustments (e.g., modified loss functions, Bayesian approaches, and ensemble methods), and preprocessing strategies (e.g., resampling, feature selection, and handling missing data). Addressing this imbalance is crucial for improving the reliability and fairness of AI-driven diagnostic and prognostic tools, ultimately leading to better patient care and more equitable healthcare outcomes.
