arXiv:2604. 01506v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Long-tailed classification, where a small number of frequent classes dominate many rare ones, remains challenging because models systematically favor frequent classes at inference time.

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

Density‑Ratio Rescoring (DRR) enhances a classifier trained with the original class prior by adding a survey‑raking dual score that reweights the majority class to match minority feature moments within a tolerance. The method standardizes both the dual and base scores, combines them with equal weight, and uses the fitted dual directly for prediction without resampling or refitting the base model. Experiments on 24 tabular benchmarks and a gene‑expression cohort show that DRR improves average precision over the standardized base on every dataset, with a mean gain of 0.034, and outperforms a shared‑dual raking‑and‑relabeling resampler on most datasets.
