Abstract

In reality, the data generated in many fields usually have multiple classes and are imbalanced. In multi-class imbalance classification, problems such as class overlap, noise and multiple minority classes reduce the capability of classifiers, and effective solution of multi-class imbalance problem has become an important research topic in the field of machine learning and data mining. Based on the recent literature on multi-class imbalance classification methods, this paper analyzed and summarized both data preprocessing and algorithm-level classification methods, and conducted a detailed analysis of all algorithms in terms of advantages, disadvantages and data sets. The data preprocessing methods introduced oversampling, undersampling, hybrid sampling and feature selection methods to compare the performance of the algorithms using the same datasets. In addition, the algorithm-level classification methods described and analyzed base classifier optimization, ensemble learning and multi-class decomposition techniques. Finally, this paper summarized the future development directions of the multi-class imbalanced data classification research field.
