• Title: Error Distribution Smoothing:Advancing Low-Dimensional Imbalanced Regression
• Authors: Donghe Chen, Jiaxuan Yue, Tengjie Zheng, Lanxuan Wang, Lin Cheng,
• Abstract summary: In real-world regression tasks, datasets frequently exhibit imbalanced distributions, characterized by a scarcity of data in high-complexity regions and an abundance in low-complexity areas. We introduce a novel concept of Imbalanced Regression, which takes into account both the complexity of the problem and the density of data points, extending beyond traditional definitions that focus only on data density. We propose Error Distribution Smoothing (EDS) as a solution to tackle imbalanced regression, effectively selecting a representative subset from the dataset to reduce redundancy while maintaining balance and representativeness.

• Abstract: In real-world regression tasks, datasets frequently exhibit imbalanced distributions, characterized by a scarcity of data in high-complexity regions and an abundance in low-complexity areas. This imbalance presents significant challenges for existing classification methods with clear class boundaries, while highlighting a scarcity of approaches specifically designed for imbalanced regression problems. To better address these issues, we introduce a novel concept of Imbalanced Regression, which takes into account both the complexity of the problem and the density of data points, extending beyond traditional definitions that focus only on data density. Furthermore, we propose Error Distribution Smoothing (EDS) as a solution to tackle imbalanced regression, effectively selecting a representative subset from the dataset to reduce redundancy while maintaining balance and representativeness. Through several experiments, EDS has shown its effectiveness, and the related code and dataset can be accessed at https://anonymous.4open.science/r/Error-Distribution-Smoothing-762F.

  Semi-supervised learning (SSL) has shown great promise in leveraging unlabeled data to improve model performance.

We study a simple yet overlooked baseline -- SimiS -- which tackles data imbalance by simply supplementing labeled data with pseudo-labels.

We make a very general assumption on the computational network that covers the settings of fully decentralized calculations. We theoretically analyze its convergence rate in the strongly-monotone, monotone, and non-monotone settings.

  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.
