ADANOISE: Training neural networks with adaptive noise for imbalanced data classification

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a novel training method based on adaptive noise for neural networks.

• Each minority instance is oversampled by adding different random noise vectors.

• The neural network and the parameter of the noise distribution are simultaneously trained.

• The noise distribution is adaptively determined toward improving the performance.

• Experimental results demonstrate its effectiveness under class imbalance.
