Popis: In real-world applications, it has been observed that class imbalance (significant differences in class prior probabilities) may produce an important deterioration of the classifier performance, in particular with patterns belonging to the less represented classes. One method to tackle this problem consists to resample the original training set, either by over-sampling the minority class and/or under-sampling the majority class. In this paper, we propose two ensemble models (using a modular neural network and the nearest neighbor rule) trained on datasets under-sampled with genetic algorithms. Experiments with real datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the methodology here proposed
