Abstract
Existing concept learning systems can fail when the negative examples heavily outnumber the positive examples. The paper discusses one essential trouble brought about by imbalanced training sets and presents a learning algorithm addressing this issue. The experiments (with synthetic and real-world data) focus on 2-class problems with examples described with binary and continuous attributes.
