• Abstract: Imbalanced data are frequently encountered in real-world classification tasks. Previous works on imbalanced learning mostly focused on learning with a minority class of few samples. However, the notion of imbalance also applies to cases where the minority class contains abundant samples, which is usually the case for industrial applications like fraud detection in the area of financial risk management. In this paper, we take a population-level approach to imbalanced learning by proposing a new formulation called \emph{ultra-imbalanced classification} (UIC). Under UIC, loss functions behave differently even if infinite amount of training samples are available. To understand the intrinsic difficulty of UIC problems, we borrow ideas from information theory and establish a framework to compare different loss functions through the lens of statistical information. A novel learning objective termed Tunable Boosting Loss is developed which is provably resistant against data imbalance under UIC, as well as being empirically efficient verified by extensive experimental studies on both public and industrial datasets.

  In computer vision, learning from long tailed datasets is a recurring theme, especially for natural image datasets.
