RB-CCR: Radial-Based Combined Cleaning and Resampling algorithm for imbalanced data classification
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Real-world classification domains, such as medicine, health and safety, and finance, often exhibit imbalanced class priors and have asynchronous misclassification costs. In such cases, the classification model must achieve a high recall without significantly impacting precision. Resampling the training data is the standard approach to improving classification performance on imbalanced binary data. However, the state-of-the-art methods ignore the local joint distribution of the data or correct it as a post-processing step. This can causes sub-optimal shifts in the training distribution, particularly when the target data distribution is complex. In this paper, we propose Radial-Based Combined Cleaning and Resampling (RB-CCR). RB-CCR utilizes the concept of class potential to refine the energy-based resampling approach of CCR. In particular, RB-CCR exploits the class potential to accurately locate sub-regions of the data-space for synthetic oversampling. The category sub-region for oversampling can be specified as an input parameter to meet domain-specific needs or be automatically selected via cross-validation. Our $$5\times 2$$ 5 × 2 cross-validated results on 57 benchmark binary datasets with 9 classifiers show that RB-CCR achieves a better precision-recall trade-off than CCR and generally out-performs the state-of-the-art resampling methods in terms of AUC and G-mean.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
