Abstract
In classification, when there is a disproportion in the number of observations in each class, the data is said to be class imbalance. Class imbalance is pervasive in real world applications of data classification and has been the focus of much research. The minority class contributes too little to the decision boundary because the learning process learns from each observation in isolation. In this paper, we discuss the application of learning pairwise rankers as a solution to class imbalance. We compare ranking models to alternatives from the literature.
