<span>The imbalanced data problems in data mining are common nowadays, which occur due to skewed nature of data. These problems impact the classification process negatively in machine learning process. In such problems, classes have different ratios of specimens in which a large number of specimens belong to one class and the other class has fewer specimens that is usually an essential class, but unfortunately misclassified by many classifiers. So far, significant research is performed to address the imbalanced data problems by implementing different techniques and approaches. In this research, a comprehensive survey is performed to identify the challenges of handling imbalanced class problems during classification process using machine learning algorithms. We discuss the issues of classifiers which endorse bias for majority class and ignore the minority class. Furthermore, the viable solutions and potential future directions are provided to handle the problems<em>.</em></span>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
