DAMEL: Dual-Axis Multi-Expert Learning for Class-Imbalanced Learning 文章

arXiv:2605.30135v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Various algorithms have been proposed to address the challenges posed by class-imbalanced learning from real-world data with long-tailed distributions. While these algorithms reduce prediction bias through rebalancing techniques, they often introduce increased prediction variance as a trade-off. Several multi-expert learning algorithms aim to address this variance but involve complex procedures. We propose a new multi-expert learning algorithm, called the dual-axis multi-expert learning (DAMEL), which reduces both bias and variance of predictions by using multiple experts along both representation and time axes. Along the representation axis, DAMEL concatenates the representations of multiple experts and trains an auxiliary balanced classifier simultaneously with the concatenated representations. Along the time axis, DAMEL aggregates network weights across training epochs, employing these aggregated weights during testing.
