摘要
Ensemble learning techniques are widely applied to classification tasks such as credit-risk evaluation. As for most credit-risk evaluation scenarios in the real world, only imbalanced data are available for model construction, and the performance of ensemble models still needs to be improved. An ideal ensemble algorithm is supposed to improve diversity in an effective manner. Therefore, we provide an insight in considering an ensemble diversity-promotion method for imbalanced learning tasks. A novel ensemble structure is proposed, which combines self-adaptive optimization techniques and a diversity-promotion method (SA-DP Forest). Additional artificially constructed samples, generated by a fuzzy sampling method at each iteration, directly create diverse hypotheses and address the imbalanced classification problem while training the proposed model. Meanwhile, the self-adaptive optimization mechanism within the ensemble simultaneously balances the individual accuracy as the diversity increases. The results using the decision tree as a base classifier indicate that SA-DP Forest outperforms the comparative algorithms, as reflected by most evaluation metrics on three credit data sets and seven other imbalanced data sets. Our method is also more suitable for experimental data that are properly constructed with a series of artificial imbalance ratios on the original credit data set.
