Oversampling Method
Oversampling methods aim to address class imbalance in datasets by artificially increasing the number of instances in underrepresented classes, improving the performance of machine learning models. Current research focuses on developing sophisticated oversampling techniques using diverse approaches, including generative adversarial networks (GANs), autoencoders, diffusion models, and large language models (LLMs), often combined with other strategies like undersampling or filtering. These advancements are crucial for various applications, from improving the accuracy of medical diagnoses and fraud detection to enhancing the robustness of network intrusion detection systems and other machine learning tasks hampered by skewed data distributions. The ongoing development of more efficient and effective oversampling methods is vital for advancing the reliability and fairness of machine learning across numerous domains.
