	abstract = {A convenient data preprocessing has proven to be crucial in order to achieve high levels of accuracy, time series being no exception. For this kind of forecasting tasks, several specialized preprocessing methods have been described, being trend analysis and seasonal analysis some of them. Several have been formally grouped around a methodology that is always applied to state of the art time series forecasting models, like the well known ARIMA.

LSTM is a relatively novel architecture which has been specifically designed to get rid of the vanishing gradient problem. In these models, great results have been seen when applied for time series forecasting. Still, little is known about the impact of these traditional preprocessing methods on the accuracy of LSTM.

In this work an empirical analysis on how classical time series preprocessing methods influence LSTM results is conducted. That all considered ones can potentially improve LSTM performance is concluded, being the seasonal component removal the filter that achieves better, most robust accuracy gain.},

	abstract = {The imbalanced class problem is related to the real-world application of classification in engineering. It is characterised by a very different distribution of examples among the classes. The condition of multiple imbalanced classes is more restrictive when the aim of the final system is to obtain the most accurate precision for each of the concepts of the problem. The goal of this work is to provide a thorough experimental analysis that will allow us to determine the behaviour of the different approaches proposed in the specialised literature. First, we will make use of binarization schemes, i.e., one versus one and one versus all, in order to apply the standard approaches to solving binary class imbalanced problems. Second, we will apply several ad hoc procedures which have been designed for the scenario of imbalanced data-sets with multiple classes. This experimental study will include several well-known algorithms from the literature such as decision trees, support vector machines and instance-based learning, with the intention of obtaining global conclusions from different classification paradigms. The extracted findings will be supported by a statistical comparative analysis using more than 20 data-sets from the KEEL repository.},
