SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique) for Handling Imbalanced Datasets

[@bhattbhavesh91]

Something went wrong while using pd.crosstab! So the updated confusion matrices are as follows - At 7:50 The correct confusion matrix is 92303 14 1535 135 At 10:30 The correct confusion matrix is 93798 41 40 108 Sorry for the mistake :)

[@sahubiswajit1996]

Why we are using "random_state=12" ?

[@chrislam1341]

@@sahubiswajit1996 it is just his preference, for being able to get the same result from the randomness.

[@sumitshukla3689]

When we apply SMOTE, the number of samples doesn't changes. But as explained by you, if we are adding some synthetic samples, the training example should also increase right??

[@KumarHemjeet]

@@sahubiswajit1996 you can take any number

Hi Bhavesh, Very good explanation. I was particularly confused about implementing SMOTE on the main data. But I guess you're correct that we must implement SMOTE on training data. Thank You

If we want to normalize the data as well, should we do it before applying SMOTE?

[@shishirdixit5996]

I have a categorical dependent variable with 3400 records in which the distribution of 0s and 1s are 2677 and 723 respectively, Will this be considered as an imbalanced dataset ? or if I would have 1s less than 5% of the total record only then it would be considered as imbalanced. Kindly clarify the doubt

What if there are more than 2 classes? In your video Sir, there are only 2 classes.. For example, I want to make 3 classes.. How can I implemented 3 classes on python use SMOTE?? Thank you, Sir

[@sridhar6358]

so the idea of opting for ratio parameter in SMOTE to be a hyperparameter is to ensure we get better results is that correct, in general is it a good option to make ratio option of SMOTE to be a hyperparameter rather then fixing it to 1

[@shwetasharma1996]

Nice content! I would like to compare some techniques of oversampling.. Can you pl help me out to get the hard code of SMOTE not the packaged one..thanks

[@hieunguyenvan6590]

Do you need to remove outliers of dataset if you SMOTE?

[@harishbagul1813]

Can you tell i should do scaling before or after the smote?

[@achyuthvishwamithra]

When the final ratio came out to be 0.005, doesn't it imply that the we are going to be generating a very small number (0.005 * majority) of samples for the minority class? How will the length of minority class samples ever be equal to that of majority class?

[@sourishmukherjee2404]

The final ratio for the final model after Grid search CV was for SMOTE=0.0005/Does thatg imply that the ratio(Minority class/Majority class)=0.005 .?Then how is the minority class gettting oversampled to equal proportion as the majority class??

Nope! It doesn't, it only upsamples your data by generating artificial samples! How good the model performs depends on how well your classes are apart!
