The multi-class imbalance problem in supervised pattern recognition methods is receiving growing attention. Imbalanced datasets means that some classes are represented by a large number of samples while the others classes only contain a few. In real-world applications, imbalanced training sets may produce an important deterioration of the classifier performance when neural networks are applied in the classes less represented. In this paper we propose training cost-sentitive neural networks with editing techniques for handling the class imbalance problem on multi-class datasets. The aim is to remove majority samples while compensating the class imbalance during the training process. Experiments with real data sets demonstrate the effectiveness of the strategy here proposed.
