  University students experience disproportionately high rates of common mental health conditions, such as depression, which can impair learning, social functioning, and overall well-being. Within this context, symptoms of amotivation (i.e. loss of motivational drive) and anhedonia (i.e. diminished in…

• When Identical Rows Disagree: From Benchmark Identifiability to Replication-Robust Anomaly Detection

  Jie Deng · 25 de septiembre de 2026

  A released table is often treated as an i.i.d. sample, although its repeated rows may encode business frequency, repeated entities, joins, resampling, or extraction errors. We show that this ambiguity creates a hidden measurement layer with three consequences: feature-identical rows impose an attain…

• CRISP: Scalable Importance-Stratified Coresets for Imbalanced Tabular Learning

  Hardhik Mohanty, Indrayana Rustandi, Mohamadreza Sheibani · 24 de septiembre de 2026

  Large imbalanced tabular datasets make repeated gradient-boosted tree training expensive. Existing coreset methods often lose accuracy when most majority examples are removed. We present CRISP (Coreset Reduction via Importance-Stratified Pruning), a linear-time method that allocates a negative-class…

• Density-Ratio Rescoring for Imbalanced Classification Using Raking Duals and Classifier Scores

  Dongha Kim, Seunghwan Park · 23 de septiembre de 2026

  Density-Ratio Rescoring (DRR) augments a classifier trained at the original class prior with a survey-raking dual score. Raking reweights the majority sample to match minority feature moments within a tolerance. DRR marginally standardizes the dual and base scores and combines them with a fixed weig…

• Exposing Blind Spots in Deep Imbalanced Regression Evaluation

  Noah C. Puetz, Jens U. Brandt, Marc Hilbert, Elena Raponi, Thomas B\"ack, Thomas Bartz-Beielstein · 23 de septiembre de 2026

Despite rapid methodological…

• Rethinking Class Imbalance for Single-Cell Foundation Models: A Systematic Benchmark Across Architectures and Long-Tail Loss Functions

  Zeyu Dong, Jiahui Zhong · 22 de septiembre de 2026

  Single-cell foundation models (scGPT, scBERT, Geneformer) achieve cell-type classification accuracy up to 97.5% in our experiments, yet this aggregate accuracy can mask systematic failure on rare, often disease-relevant cell populations that long-tail loss functions are widely assumed to address. We…

• Improving the Predictive Performance of Bootstrap Aggregating by Dirichlet Resampling

  Quoc Viet Le, Joonha Park · 21 de septiembre de 2026

• When majority rules, minority loses: bias amplification of gradient descent

  Fran\c{c}ois Bachoc (LPP), J\'er\^ome Bolte (TSE-R), Ryan Boustany (TSE-R), Jean-Michel Loubes (IMT, REGALIA) · 16 de septiembre de 2026

  Despite growing empirical evidence of bias amplification in machine learning, its theoretical foundations remain poorly understood. We develop a formal framework for majority-minority learning tasks, showing how standard training can favor majority groups and produce stereotypical predictors that ne…

• Bounded Adjustment with Reliability-Guided Embedding for Imbalanced Learning with Noisy Labels

  Mushir Akhtar, Akarsh J., M. Tanveer, Mohd. Arshad · 16 de septiembre de 2026

  Class-balanced learning and label noise create a coupled failure mode: frequency correction prevents majority classes from dominating the decision rule, but can amplify incorrectly labeled minority examples. We introduce BARGE (Bounded Adjustment with Reliability-Guided Embeddings), a single-stage o…

• Mini-batch Sampling Strategies for Long-Tailed Image Classification: An Empirical Study on CIFAR-100-LT

  Siyu Yuan · 16 de septiembre de 2026

  Real-world datasets often exhibit long-tailed class distributions, where a few head classes contain a large number of training samples while a large number of tail classes have only a few. The composition of each mini-batch, determined by the sampling strategy, governs which classes contribute to th…
