imbalanced-ensemble (IMBENS, imported as imbens) is a Python toolbox for quick implementation, modification, evaluation, and visualization of ensemble learning algorithms for class-imbalanced data. It was built on the basis of scikit-learn and imbalanced-learn. IMBENS includes more than 15 ensemble imbalanced learning (EIL) algorithms, from the classical SMOTEBoost (2003) and RUSBoost (2010) to recent SPE (2020), from resampling-based methods to cost-sensitive ensemble learning.

IMBENS is featured for:

  • Unified, easy-to-use APIs, detailed documentation and examples.

  • Capable for out-of-the-box multi-class imbalanced (long-tailed) learning.

  • Optimized performance with parallelization when possible using joblib.

  • Powerful, customizable, interactive training logging and visualizer.

  • Full compatibility with other popular packages like scikit-learn and imbalanced-learn.

API Demo:

>>> from imbens.ensemble import SelfPacedEnsembleClassifier
>>> from imbens.datasets import generate_imbalance_data
>>> from imbens.utils import evaluate_print
>>> from imbens.visualizer import ImbalancedEnsembleVisualizer
>>>
>>> X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = generate_imbalance_data(
...     n_samples=200, weights=[.9,.1], test_size=.5)
>>>
>>> clf = SelfPacedEnsembleClassifier()                    # initialize ensemble
>>> clf.fit(X_train, y_train)
>>>
>>> y_test_pred = clf.predict(X_test)                      # predict labels
>>> y_test_proba = clf.predict_proba(X_test)               # predict probabilities
>>>
>>> evaluate_print(y_test, y_test_pred, "SPE")             # performance evaluation
SPE balanced Acc: 0.972 | macro Fscore: 0.886 | macro Gmean: 0.972
>>>
>>> visualizer = ImbalancedEnsembleVisualizer()            # initialize visualizer
>>> visualizer.fit({'SPE': clf})
>>>
>>> visualizer.performance_lineplot()                      # performance visualization
>>> visualizer.confusion_matrix_heatmap()                  # prediction visualization
