Handling Imbalanced Data in Caffe
There are several methods typically used in Caffe to handle imbalanced datasets.
- Resampling: Balancing the number of samples between different classes can be achieved by either duplicating samples from the minority class or deleting samples from the majority class. In Caffe, this can be accomplished by adjusting sample weights using the sample_weight parameter.
- Category weighting: Different weights can be set for different categories to make the loss function pay more attention to the classification effect of minority class samples. In Caffe, this can be achieved by adjusting the loss_weight parameter to control the loss weights of different categories.
- Creating artificial data: it is possible to generate some artificial data in order to increase the number of samples in the minority class, thus making the dataset more balanced. In Caffe, artificial data can be generated through data augmentation.
- Integrated learning can be used to combine the prediction results of multiple models in order to improve the model’s ability to identify minority class samples. In Caffe, ensemble learning can be achieved by combining multiple models.
These methods can be selected and combined according to specific circumstances to improve the performance of the model when dealing with imbalanced datasets.
