Abstract

Imbalanced data classification is still remaining thje important topic and during the past decades, plenty of works are devoted to this field of study. More and more real-life based imbalanced class problems inspired researchers to come up with new solutions with better performance. Various techniques are employed such as data handling approaches, algorithm-level approaches, active learning approaches, and kernel-based methods to enumerate only a few. This work aims at applying a novel dynamic selection methods on imbalanced data classification problems. The experiments carried out on several benchmark datasets confirm its pretty high performance.
