Python module to perform under sampling and over sampling with various techniques.
is there an alternative to SMOTE That works well for images?
apparently you just like multiply the image stuff
and then reshape back
idk how well it'll work though
to do this "SMOTE" idea for images
and btw i tried the reshape and it dint rly work properly
You just need to operate proper reshaping. I once worked with a time series activity data in which I created chunks of N-size time-steps. The shape of my input was (1, 100, 4). So for the training sample, I have (n_samples, 1, 100, 4) and was a five-class, multi-minority problem, that I want to oversample using SMOTE.
The way I go about it was to flatten the input, like so:
#..reshape (flatten) Train_X for SMOTE resanpling
nsamples, k, nx, ny = Train_X.shape
#Train_X = Train_X.reshape((nsamples,nx*ny))
#smote = SMOTE('not majority', random_state=42, k_neighbors=5)
#X_reample, Y_resample = smote.fit_sample(Train_X, Train_Y)And then reshape the instance back to the original input shape, like so:
#..reshape input back to CNN xture
X_reample = X_reample.reshape(len(X_reample), k, nx, ny)
like lets say that i have tons of images of cats and few images of dogs, does it actually augment the dog images? and if so, how does it oversample those?
i haven't seen much where people use SMOTE for oversampling images specifically, which is why im surprised
thanks by the way, i'll definitely check what you sent
i believe i did somethign simliar but got an error
so i was also wondering something
i tried to do that and it didn't work
do you have any advice on what to do differently?
i didnt do exactly how you did but thoguht this was a simpler appraoch, conceptually-wise
In the instance hardness threshold, when in the docs says "InstanceHardnessThreshold is a specific algorithm in which a classifier is trained on the data and the samples with lower probabilities are removed"(https://imbalanced-learn.org/stable/under_sampling.html#instance-hardness-threshold) what probability exactly is it referring to? The probability of the majority? or the probability of the minority? It is not clear to me from the docs.
Assuming that the target has 2 classes, 0 and 1, and 1 is the minority class: cross_val_predict will return an array with the probabilities of class 0 and 1. Then the code takes the first vector (https://github.com/scikit-learn-contrib/imbalanced-learn/blob/f177b05/imblearn/under_sampling/_prototype_selection/_instance_hardness_threshold.py#L156), that is the probability of being of the majority class, and keeps those with the highest probability, so those that are easier to classify correctly as members of the majority. So far, I think I understand.
But if the target has 3 classes, 0, 1 and 2, and only 2 is the minority, the code (https://github.com/scikit-learn-contrib/imbalanced-learn/blob/f177b05/imblearn/under_sampling/_prototype_selection/_instance_hardness_threshold.py#L156) will only take the first vector of probabilities, that is of class 0. But for class 1, should it not be taking the second vector? is this a bug? or am I understanding the code wrongly?
I am trying to use a customize generator. But it gives the following error :
try:
import keras
ParentClass = keras.utils.Sequence
HAS_KERAS = True
except ImportError: AttributeError: module 'keras.utils' has no attribute 'Sequence' in _generator.py file. What can I do to overcome this error?

In Random Oversampling, when applying shrinkage we multiply the std of each variable, by the srhinkage (arbitrary and entered by the user) a smoothing_constant. The smoothing_constant is (4 / ((n_features + 2) n_samples)) ** (1 / (n_features + 4). What is the logic for this constant?
Also, as per the docs on RandomOversampling, "When generating a smoothed bootstrap, this method is also known as Random Over-Sampling Examples (ROSE) [1]." But, in the ROSE paper, do the authors not select samples which probability is 1/2? In RandomOversampling the smoothing is applied to all randomly extracted samples, regardless of their original probability.
Is there a simpler/built-in way to convert/cast imblearn objects to their sklearn object base/equivalent? My workaround is to create the base using all matching values from the object's dict and then once created update the sklearn object's dict with the imblearn object's dict.
which type of operation you would like to apply that is a blocker?
I would probably search for the
strategy_sampling parameter as well.
from sklearn.neighbors import KNeighborsClassifier
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline
model = Pipeline(steps=[
("preprocessor", StandardScaler()),
("classifier", KNeighborsClassifier(n_neighbors=5)),
])
here you can define a pipeline with a
preprocessor step
Then you can declare a list of potential preprocessor:
from sklearn.preprocessing import MinMaxScaler
from sklearn.preprocessing import QuantileTransformer
from sklearn.preprocessing import PowerTransformer
all_preprocessors = [
None,
StandardScaler(),
MinMaxScaler(),
QuantileTransformer(n_quantiles=100),
PowerTransformer(method="box-cox"),
]
and thus defined the parameter grid with
param_grid = {
“preprocessor”: all_preprocessors,
}
and create the subsequent grid-search
search_cv = GridSearchCV(model, param_grid=param_grid)
and it will try all preprocessor
So now you can use the same scheme with the sampler
you only need to use the
Pipeline from imblearn.pipeline such that it can handle sampler
and declare a list of all potential samplers to try and pass it to the grid.
That is neat! Would be great to have that on the docs :)
