โณQuick Start with our 5-minute Guide & Detailed Examples
IMBENS (imported as imbens) is a Python library for quick implementation, modification, evaluation, and visualization of ensemble learning from class-imbalanced data.
Currently, IMBENS includes over 15 ensemble imbalanced learning algorithms (SMOTEBoost, SMOTEBagging, RUSBoost, EasyEnsemble, SelfPacedEnsemble, etc) and 19 over-/under-sampling methods (SMOTE, ADASYN, TomekLinks, etc) from imbalance-learn.
- ๐งโ๐ป Ease-of-use: Unified, easy-to-use APIs with documentation and examples.
- ๐ Performance: Optimized performance with parallelization using joblib.
- ๐ Benchmarking: Running & comparing multiple models with our visualizer.
- ๐บ Monitoring: Powerful, customizable, interactive training logging.
- ๐ช Versatility: Full compatibility with scikit-learn and imbalanced-learn.
- ๐ Functionality: Extending existing techniques from binary to multi-class setting.
# Train an SPE classifier
from imbens.ensemble import SelfPacedEnsembleClassifier
clf = SelfPacedEnsembleClassifier(random_state=42)
clf.fit(X_train, y_train)
# Predict with an SPE classifier
y_pred = clf.predict(X_test)๐ป We appreciate your citation if you find our work helpful! The BibTeX entry:

Here, we provide some quick guides to help you get started with IMBENS.
We strongly encourage users to check out the example gallery for more comprehensive usage examples, which demonstrate many advanced features of IMBENS.
Taking self-paced ensemble [1] as an example, it only requires less than 10 lines of code to deploy it:
>>> from imbens.ensemble import SelfPacedEnsembleClassifier
>>> from sklearn.datasets import make_classification
>>> from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
>>>
>>> X, y = make_classification(n_samples=1000, n_classes=3,
... n_informative=4, weights=[0.2, 0.3, 0.5],
... random_state=0)
>>> X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(
... X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)
>>> clf = SelfPacedEnsembleClassifier(random_state=0)
>>> clf.fit(X_train, y_train)
SelfPacedEnsembleClassifier(...)
>>> clf.predict(X_test)
array([...])The imbens.visualizer sub-module provide an ImbalancedEnsembleVisualizer.
It can be used to visualize the ensemble estimator(s) for further information or comparison.
Please refer to visualizer documentation and examples for more details.
Fit an ImbalancedEnsembleVisualizer
from imbens.ensemble import SelfPacedEnsembleClassifier
from imbens.ensemble import RUSBoostClassifier
from imbens.ensemble import EasyEnsembleClassifier
from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier
# Fit ensemble classifiers
init_kwargs = {'estimator': DecisionTreeClassifier()}
ensembles = {
'spe': SelfPacedEnsembleClassifier(**init_kwargs).fit(X_train, y_train),
'rusboost': RUSBoostClassifier(**init_kwargs).fit(X_train, y_train),
'easyens': EasyEnsembleClassifier(**init_kwargs).fit(X_train, y_train),
}
# Fit visualizer

Class-imbalance (also known as the long-tail problem) is the fact that the classes are not represented equally in a classification problem, which is quite common in practice. For instance, fraud detection, prediction of rare adverse drug reactions and prediction gene families. Failure to account for the class imbalance often causes inaccurate and decreased predictive performance of many classification algorithms. Imbalanced learning aims to tackle the class imbalance problem to learn an unbiased model from imbalanced data.
For more resources on imbalanced learning, please refer to awesome-imbalanced-learning.
IMBENS was initially developed on top of imbalanced-learn, but has undergone heavy developments to implement many important imbalanced ensemble techniques. The infrastructure also underwent significant refactoring to support advanced ensemble learning features that are essential to practical usability (fine-grained training control, parallel computing, multi-class support, training logs, visualization, etc).
