Needles and Haystacks - Machine Learning with Imbalanced Datasets

Explore machine learning techniques for handling imbalanced datasets in this 44-minute conference talk by Matt How from Adatis at the Data Science Festival. Learn how to train models to identify rare but crucial data points that can significantly impact your business. Discover various strategies to tackle imbalanced classification problems, including synthetic data generation, algorithm and metric selection, and over- and under-sampling techniques. Through interactive demonstrations, gain practical knowledge on implementing these approaches using common libraries and toolsets. Suitable for those with basic data science knowledge, this session covers fundamental concepts and provides attendees with a comprehensive understanding of identifying and resolving imbalanced classification challenges.
