Synthetic minority oversampling technique for multiclass imbalance problems

作者:

Highlights:

• Synthetic oversampling technique for multiclass imbalance problems is proposed.

• Mechanism of avoiding over generalization is established.

• Regions of minority classes can aggressively enlarge.

• Effective minimization of class overlapping.

• Superior performance than the state of the art over various classifiers.
