Oversampling for Imbalanced Time Series Data

Many important real-world applications involve time-series data with skewed distribution. Compared to conventional imbalance learning problems, the classification of imbalanced time-series data is more challenging due to high dimensionality and high inter-variable correlation. This paper proposes a structure preserving Oversampling method to combat the High-dimensional Imbalanced Time-series classification (OHIT). OHIT first leverages a density-ratio based shared nearest neighbor clustering algorithm to capture the modes of minority class in high-dimensional space. It then for each mode applies the shrinkage technique of large-dimensional covariance matrix to obtain accurate and reliable covariance structure. Finally, OHIT generates the structure-preserving synthetic samples based on multivariate Gaussian distribution by using the estimated covariance matrices. Experimental results on several publicly available time-series datasets (including unimodal and multi-modal) demonstrate the superiority of OHIT against the state-of-the-art oversampling algorithms in terms of F-value, G-mean, and AUC.
