Analyzing the Effects of Handling Data Imbalance on Learned Features from Medical Images by Looking Into the Models

Ashkan Khakzar, Yawei Li, Yang Zhang +5

One challenging property lurking in medical datasets is the imbalanced data distribution, where the frequency of the samples between the different classes is not balanced. Training…
