ABSTRACT

Representation-based methods have found widespread applications in various classification tasks. However, these methods cannot deal effectively with imbalanced data scenarios. They tend to neglect the importance of minority samples, resulting in bias toward the majority class. To address this limitation, we propose a density-based discriminative nonnegative representation approach for imbalanced classification tasks. First, a new class-specific regularization term is incorporated into the framework of a nonnegative representation based classifier (NRC) to reduce the correlation between classes and improve the discrimination ability of the NRC. Second, a weight matrix is generated based on the hybrid density information of each sample’s neighbors and the decision boundary, which can assign larger weights to minority samples and thus reduce the preference for the majority class. Furthermore, the resulting model can be efficiently optimized through the alternating direction method of multipliers. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method is superior to numerous state-of-the-art imbalanced learning methods.
