note that this variant “performs worse than plain under-sampling based on AUC” when tested on the Adult dataset (Dua & Graff, 2017). In this blog post we talked about why working with imbalanced datasets is typically problematic, and covered the internals of SMOTE – a go-to technique for up-sampling minority classes.
