• Title: Survey on Imbalanced Data, Representation Learning and SEP Forecasting
• Authors: Josias Moukpe
• Abstract summary: Deep Learning methods have significantly advanced various data-driven tasks such as regression, classification, and forecasting. Much of this progress has been predicated on the strong but often unrealistic assumption that training datasets are balanced with respect to the targets they contain. This misalignment with real-world conditions, where data is frequently imbalanced, hampers the effectiveness of such models in practical applications. We present deep learning works that step away from the balanced-data assumption, employing strategies like representation learning to better approximate real-world imbalances.

• Abstract: Deep Learning methods have significantly advanced various data-driven tasks such as regression, classification, and forecasting. However, much of this progress has been predicated on the strong but often unrealistic assumption that training datasets are balanced with respect to the targets they contain. This misalignment with real-world conditions, where data is frequently imbalanced, hampers the effectiveness of such models in practical applications. Methods that reconsider that assumption and tackle real-world imbalances have begun to emerge and explore avenues to address this challenge. One such promising avenue is representation learning, which enables models to capture complex data characteristics and generalize better to minority classes. By focusing on a richer representation of the feature space, these techniques hold the potential to mitigate the impact of data imbalance. In this survey, we present deep learning works that step away from the balanced-data assumption, employing strategies like representation learning to better approximate real-world imbalances. We also highlight a critical application in SEP forecasting where addressing data imbalance is paramount for success.

• Restoring balance: principled under/oversampling of data for optimal classification [0.0]
  Class imbalance in real-world data poses a common bottleneck for machine learning tasks. Mitigation strategies, such as under or oversampling the data depending on their abundances, are routinely proposed and tested empirically. We provide a sharp prediction of the effects of under/oversampling strategies depending on class imbalance, first and second moments of the data, and the metrics of performance considered.

  We propose a novel policy learning algorithm, PESsimistic CAusal Learning (PESCAL) Our key observation is that, by incorporating auxiliary variables that mediate the effect of actions on system dynamics, it is sufficient to learn a lower bound of the mediator distribution function, instead of the Q-function. We provide theoretical guarantees for the algorithms we propose, and demonstrate their efficacy through simulations, as well as real-world experiments utilizing offline datasets from a leading ride-hailing platform.

  Unlabeled data in reality is commonly imbalanced and shows a long-tail distribution. This paper proposes a principled framework called Self-Damaging Contrastive Learning to automatically balance the representation learning without knowing the classes. Our experiments show that SDCLR significantly improves not only overall accuracies but also balancedness.

  In computer vision, learning from long tailed datasets is a recurring theme, especially for natural image datasets. Our proposal posits a meta-distributional scenario, where the data generating mechanism is invariant across the label-conditional feature distributions. This allows us to leverage a causal data inflation procedure to enlarge the representation of minority classes.
