Large Language Models for Imbalanced Classification: Diversity makes the difference
TL;DR
Imbalanced classification, where one class has significantly fewer samples, often leads to poor model performance. To address this, new methods using large language models (LLMs) have been developed to generate additional minority samples without losing information.
✦ Why It Matters
Engineers can leverage LLMs to enhance model performance in imbalanced classification scenarios without losing critical information.
Key Takeaways
- Explore LLM-based methods for generating synthetic samples.
- Condition sample generation on minority labels and features.
- Fine-tune LLMs with both minority and interpolated samples.
- Evaluate performance on diverse datasets to ensure robustness.
How It Works
The proposed method enhances diversity in synthetic sample generation by conditioning on both minority labels and features. This allows for more realistic and varied samples.
Additionally, a permutation strategy is employed during the fine-tuning of pre-trained LLMs, which helps in generating a wider range of synthetic samples. By incorporating interpolated samples in the fine-tuning process, the method further enriches the variability of the generated data.
