Class imbalance represents a significant challenge in machine learning where the distribution of classes in a dataset is heavily skewed. When one class substantially outnumbers others, models tend to develop a bias toward the majority class, potentially compromising their performance on minority classes. In this article we explore upsampling as an effective strategy to address class imbalance problems.
