When Data Imbalance Helps: Robust Generalization Through Shortcut Saturation

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2607. 10116v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study robust generalization under spurious correlations: tasks where a shortcut feature is correlated with the true label in training but anti-correlated in an adversarial held-out split.

MINT: Min-Selection Preference Distillation for Balanced Multi-Objective Alignment

arXiv:2608. 14828v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Aligning a language agent to several objectives at once is a persistent failure mode of preference-based training: when objectives are combined additively, optimization collapses onto whichever is cheapest to improve and sacrifices the rest, so a support agent learns to sound warm while giving no real help.

Breaking the Homogeneity Assumption: Specialized Multi-Generator Adversarial Learning for Rare Failure Detection in Predictive Maintenance

arXiv:2607. 19153v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Supervised learning models in the predictive maintenance field are regularly trained on highly imbalanced industrial datasets: machine failures occur rarely but have a disproportionate effect on operations.

Data Balancing Strategies: A Systematic Survey of Resampling and Augmentation Methods

arXiv:2505. 13518v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Imbalanced datasets, where one class significantly outnumbers others, remain a persistent challenge in machine learning, often biasing predictions toward the majority class and degrading classifier performance.
