Solving a classification task using such an imbalanced data-set is difficult due to the bias of the training towards the majority classes. The aim of this contribution is to analyse the performance of CO2RBFN, a cooperative-competitive evolutionary model for the design of RBFNs applied to classification problems on imbalanced domains and to study the cooperation of a well known preprocessing method, the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) with our algorithm. The good performance of CO2RBFN is shown through an experimental study carried out over a large collection of imbalanced data-sets.}, year = {2009}, pages = {57-64}, publisher = {Springer Berlin Heidelberg}, address = {Berlin, Heidelberg}, isbn = {978-3-642-02478-8}, }
