ML internals: Synthetic Minority Oversampling (SMOTE) Technique

Domino Data Lab

Working with highly imbalanced data can be problematic in several aspects: Distorted performance metrics — In a highly imbalanced dataset, say a binary dataset with a class ratio of 98:2, an algorithm that always predicts the majority class and completely ignores the minority class will still be 98% correct. 1988), E-state data (Hall et al.,

Explaining black-box models using attribute importance, PDPs, and LIME

Domino Data Lab

After forming the X and y variables, we split the data into training and test sets. Looking at the target vector in the training subset, we notice that our training data is highly imbalanced. but it generally relies on measuring the entropy in the change of predictions given a perturbation of a feature. See Wei et al.
