Imbalanced-learn: a python toolbox to tackle the curse of imbalanced datasets in machine learning

TLDR
imbalanced-learn as mentioned in this paper is an open-source python toolbox aiming at providing a wide range of methods to cope with the problem of imbalanced dataset frequently encountered in machine learning and pattern recognition.
Abstract
imbalanced-learn is an open-source python toolbox aiming at providing a wide range of methods to cope with the problem of imbalanced dataset frequently encountered in machine learning and pattern recognition. The implemented state-of-the-art methods can be categorized into 4 groups: (i) under-sampling, (ii) over-sampling, (iii) combination of over-and under-sampling, and (iv) ensemble learning methods. The proposed toolbox depends only on numpy, scipy, and scikit-learn and is distributed under MIT license. Furthermore, it is fully compatible with scikit-learn and is part of the scikit-learn-contrib supported project. Documentation, unit tests as well as integration tests are provided to ease usage and contribution. Source code, binaries, and documentation can be downloaded from https://github.com/scikit-learn-contrib/imbalanced-learn.
