TITLE: An Instance Selection Algorithm for Big Data in High imbalanced datasets based on LSH 

ABSTRACT: Training of Machine Learning (ML) models in real contexts often deals with
big data sets and high-class imbalance samples where the class of interest is
unrepresented (minority class). Practical solutions using classical ML models
address the problem of large data sets using parallel/distributed
implementations of training algorithms, approximate model-based solutions, or
applying instance selection (IS) algorithms to eliminate redundant information.
However, the combined problem of big and high imbalanced datasets has been less
addressed. This work proposes three new methods for IS to be able to deal with
large and imbalanced data sets. The proposed methods use Locality Sensitive
Hashing (LSH) as a base clustering technique, and then three different sampling
methods are applied on top of the clusters (or buckets) generated by LSH. The
algorithms were developed in the Apache Spark framework, guaranteeing their
scalability. The experiments carried out in three different datasets suggest
that the proposed IS methods can improve the performance of a base ML model
between 5% and 19% in terms of the geometric mean.
