As generative adversarial network (GAN) based oversampling techniques have achieved impressive results in class imbalance of unstructured dataset such as image, many studies have begun to apply it to solving the problem of imbalance in structured dataset. However, these studies have failed to reflect the characteristics of structured data due to changing the data structure into an unstructured data format. In order to overcome the limitation, this study adapted CycleGAN to reflect the characteristics of structured data, and proposed hybridization of synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) and the adapted CycleGAN. In particular, this study tried to overcome the limitations of existing studies by using a one-dimensional convolutional neural network unlike previous studies that used two-dimensional convolutional neural network. Oversampling based on the method proposed have been experimented using various datasets and compared the performance of the method with existing oversampling methods such as SMOTE and adaptive synthetic sampling (ADASYN). The results indicated the proposed hybrid oversampling method showed superior performance compared to the existing methods when data have more dimensions or higher degree of imbalance. This study implied that the classification performance of oversampling structured data can be improved using the proposed hybrid oversampling method that considers the characteristic of structured data.

Proactive assessment of landslide susceptibility is necessary for minimizing casualties. This study proposes a methodology for classifying the landslide safety factor using a classification algorithm based on machine learning techniques. The high-risk area model is adopted to perform the classification and eight geotechnical parameters are adopted as inputs. Four classification algorithms-namely decision tree, k-nearest neighbor, logistic regression, and random forest-are employed for comparing classification accuracy for the safety factors ranging between 1.2 and 2.0. Notably, a high accuracy is demonstrated in the safety factor range of 1.2~1.7, but a relatively low accuracy is obtained in the range of 1.8~2.0. To overcome this issue, the synthetic minority over-sampling technique (SMOTE) is adopted to generate additional data. The application of SMOTE improves the average accuracy by ~250% in the safety factor range of 1.8~2.0. The results demonstrate that SMOTE algorithm improves the accuracy of classification algorithms when applied to geotechnical data.

This study aims to identify good borrowers within the context of P2P lending. P2P lending is a growing platform that allows individuals to lend and borrow money from each other. Inherent in any loans is credit risk of borrowers and needs to be considered before any lending. Specifically in the context of P2P lending, traditional models fall short and thus this study aimed to rectify this as well as explore the problem of class imbalances seen within credit risk data sets. This study implemented an over-sampling technique known as Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE). To test our approach, we implemented five benchmarking classifiers such as support vector machines, logistic regression, k-nearest neighbor, random forest, and deep neural network. The data sample used was retrieved from the publicly available LendingClub dataset. The proposed SMOTE revealed significantly improved results in comparison with the benchmarking classifiers. These results should help actors engaged within P2P lending to make better informed decisions when selecting potential borrowers eliminating the higher risks present in P2P lending.

Class distribution of unbalanced data is an important part of the digital world and is a significant part of cybersecurity. Abnormal activity of unbalanced data should be found and problems solved. Although a system capable of tracking patterns in all transactions is needed, machine learning with disproportionate data, which typically has abnormal patterns, can ignore and degrade performance for minority layers, and predictive models can be inaccurately biased. In this paper, we predict target variables and improve accuracy by combining estimates using Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) and Light GBM algorithms as an approach to address unbalanced datasets. Experimental results were compared with logistic regression, decision tree, KNN, Random Forest, and XGBoost algorithms. The performance was similar in accuracy and reproduction rate, but in precision, two algorithms performed at Random Forest 80.76% and Light GBM 97.16%, and in F1-score, Random Forest 84.67% and Light GBM 91.96%. As a result of this experiment, it was confirmed that Light GBM's performance was similar without deviation or improved by up to 16% compared to five algorithms.

There are many studies related to imbalanced data in which the class distribution is highly skewed. To address the problem of imbalanced data, previous studies deal with resampling techniques which correct the skewness of the class distribution in each sampled subset by using under-sampling, over-sampling or hybrid-sampling such as SMOTE. Ensemble methods have also alleviated the problem of class imbalanced data. In this paper, we compare around a dozen algorithms that combine the ensemble methods and resampling techniques based on simulated data sets generated by the Backbone model, which can handle the imbalance rate. The results on various real imbalanced data sets are also presented to compare the effectiveness of algorithms. As a result, we highly recommend the resampling technique combining ensemble methods for imbalanced data in which the proportion of the minority class is less than 10%. We also find that each ensemble method has a well-matched sampling technique. The algorithms which combine bagging or random forest ensembles with random undersampling tend to perform well; however, the boosting ensemble appears to perform better with over-sampling. All ensemble methods combined with SMOTE outperform in most situations.

In this study, a new empirical formula for 2D transverse dispersion coefficient was developed using the results of previous tracer test studies, and the performance of the formula was evaluated. Since many tracer test studies have been conducted under the conditions where the width-to-depth ratio is less than 50, the existing empirical formulas developed using these imbalanced tracer test results have limitations in applying to rivers with a width-to-depth ratio greater than 50. Therefore, in order to develop an empirical formula for transverse dispersion coefficient using the imbalanced tracer test data, the Synthetic Minority Oversampling TEchnique (SMOTE) was used to oversample new data representing the properties of the existing tracer test data. The hydraulic data and the transverse dispersion coefficients in conditions of width-to-depth ratio greater than 50 were oversampled using the SMOTE. The reliability of the oversampled data was evaluated using the ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) curve. The empirical formula of transverse dispersion coefficient was developed including the oversampled data, and the performance of the results were compared with the empirical formulas suggested in previous studies using R². From the comparison results, the value of R² was 0.81 for the range of W/H < 50 and 0.92 for 50 < W/H, which were improved accuracy compared to the previous studies.

물 공급 시설의 효율적이고 안정적인 운영을 위한 운영 계획의 수립 및 검증을 위해서는 장기간의 유입량 자료가 필요하다. 하지만, 현실적으로 얻을 수 있는 실측 자료는 제한적이며, 유입량이 부족하여 댐 운영에 영향을 미치는 자료는 더욱 적을 수밖에 없다. 이를 개선하고자 장기간의 모의 유입량을 생성해 운영 계획을 수립하는 방법이 종종 사용되지만, 실측 자료를 기반으로 모의하기 때문에 이 역시 가뭄의 빈도가 낮아, 장기 가뭄이나 짧은 간격으로 가뭄이 발생할 시 안정적인 운영이 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 장기 가뭄 발생 시에도 안정적인 물 공급이 가능한 운영 계획 수립을 위해 가뭄 빈도를 증가시킨 유입량 모의 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 모의 기법은 최근 머신러닝에서 사용되는 SMOTE 알고리즘을 기반으로 한다. SMOTE 알고리즘은 데이터의 불균형을 처리하기 위한 오버 샘플링 기법으로, 소수 그룹을 단순 복제하지 않고 새로운 복제본을 생성해 과적합의 위험이 적으며, 원자료의 정보가 손실되지 않는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 미국 캘리포니아주에 위치한 Folsom 댐을 대상으로 고빈도 가뭄 유입량을 모의했으며, 고빈도 가뭄 유입량을 사용한 운영 계획을 수립하였다. Folsom 댐의 과거 관측 유입량 자료를 기반으로 고빈도 가뭄 유입량을 사용한 운영 계획과 일반적인 가뭄 빈도의 유입량을 사용한 운영 계획을 적용했을 때 발생하는 공급 부족량과 과잉 방류량의 차이를 비교해 고빈도 가뭄 유입량의 사용이 물 공급 시설의 안정적인 운영에 끼치는 영향을 확인하고자 한다.

Various imbalanced binary classification problems exist such as fraud detection in banking operations, detecting spam mail and predicting defective products. Several sampling methods such as over sampling, under sampling, SMOTE have been developed to overcome the poor prediction performance of binary classifiers when the proportion of one group is dominant. In order to overcome this problem, several sampling methods such as over-sampling, under-sampling, SMOTE have been developed. In this study, we investigate prediction performance of logistic regression, Lasso, random forest, boosting and support vector machine in combination with the sampling methods for binary imbalanced data. Four real data sets are analyzed to see if there is a substantial improvement in prediction performance. We also emphasize some precautions when the sampling methods are implemented.

분산계수는 하천에서 오염물질의 혼합능을 파악할 수 있는 대표적인 인자이다. 특히 하수처리장 방류수 혼합예측과 같이 횡 방향 혼합에 대한 예측이 중요한 경우, 하천의 지형적, 수리학적 특성을 고려한 2차원 횡 분산계수의 결정이 필요하다. 2차원 횡 분산계수의 결정을 위해 기존 연구에서는 추적자실험결과로부터 경험식을 만들어 횡 분산계수 산정에 사용해왔다. 회귀분석을 통한 경험식 산정을 위해서는 충분한 데이터가 필요하지만, 2차원 추적자 실험 건수가 충분치 않아 신뢰성 높은 경험식 산정이 어려운 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 SMOTE기법을 이용하여 횡분산계수 실험데이터를 증폭시켜 이로부터 횡 분산계수 경험식을 산정하고자 한다. 또한 다중선형회귀분석을 통해 도출된 경험식의 한계를 보완하기 위해 다양한 머신러닝 기법을 적용하고, 횡 분산계수 산정에 적합한 머신러닝 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 기존 추적자실험 데이터로부터 하폭 대 수심비, 유속 대 마찰유속비, 횡 분산계수 데이터 셋을 수집하였으며, SMOTE 알고리즘의 적용을 통해 회귀분석과 머신러닝 기법 적용에 필요한 데이터그룹을 생성했다. 새롭게 생성된 데이터 셋을 포함하여 다중선형회귀분석을 통해 횡 분산계수 경험식을 결정하였으며, 새로 제안한 경험식과 기존 경험식에 대한 정확도를 비교했다. 또한 다중선형회귀분석을 통해 결정된 경험식은 횡 분산계수 예측범위에 한계를 보였기 때문에 머신러닝기법을 적용하여 다중선형회귀분석에 대한 예측성능을 평가했다. 이를 위해 머신러닝 기법으로서 서포트 벡터 머신 회귀(SVR), K근접이웃 회귀(KNN-R), 랜덤 포레스트 회귀(RFR)를 활용했다. 세 가지 머신러닝 기법을 통해 도출된 횡 분산계수와 경험식으로부터 결정된 횡 분산계수를 비교하여 예측 성능을 비교했다. 이를 통해 제한된 실험데이터 셋으로부터 2차원 횡 분산계수 산정을 위한 데이터 전처리 기법 및 횡 분산계수 산정에 적합한 머신러닝 절차와 최적 학습기법을 도출했다.
