0.4.0

Version 0.4

October, 2018

.. warning::

Version 0.4 is the last version of imbalanced-learn to support Python 2.7
and Python 3.4. Imbalanced-learn 0.5 will require Python 3.5 or higher.

Highlights

This release brings its set of new feature as well as some API changes to
strengthen the foundation of imbalanced-learn.

As new feature, 2 new modules imblearn.keras and
imblearn.tensorflow have been added in which imbalanced-learn samplers
can be used to generate balanced mini-batches.

The module imblearn.ensemble has been consolidated with new classifier:
imblearn.ensemble.BalancedRandomForestClassifier,
imblearn.ensemble.EasyEnsembleClassifier,
imblearn.ensemble.RUSBoostClassifier.

Support for string has been added in
imblearn.over_sampling.RandomOverSampler and
imblearn.under_sampling.RandomUnderSampler. In addition, a new class
imblearn.over_sampling.SMOTENC allows to generate sample with data
sets containing both continuous and categorical features.

The imblearn.over_sampling.SMOTE has been simplified and break down
to 2 additional classes:
imblearn.over_sampling.SVMSMOTE and
imblearn.over_sampling.BorderlineSMOTE.

There is also some changes regarding the API:
the parameter sampling_strategy has been introduced to replace the
ratio parameter. In addition, the return_indices argument has been
deprecated and all samplers will exposed a sample_indices_ whenever this is
possible.

What's new in version 0.3.0

Testing

• Pytest is used instead of nosetests. :issue:321 by Joan Massich_.

Documentation

• Added a User Guide and extended some examples. :issue:295 by Guillaume Lemaitre_.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug in :func:utils.check_ratio such that an error is raised when
  the number of samples required is negative. :issue:312 by Guillaume Lemaitre_.

• Fixed a bug in :class:under_sampling.NearMiss version 3. The
  indices returned were wrong. :issue:312 by Guillaume Lemaitre_.

• Fixed bug for :class:ensemble.BalanceCascade and :class:combine.SMOTEENN
  and :class:SMOTETomek. :issue:295 by Guillaume Lemaitre_.`

• Fixed bug for check_ratio to be able to pass arguments when ratio is a
  callable. :issue:307 by Guillaume Lemaitre_.`

New features

• Turn off steps in :class:pipeline.Pipeline using the None
  object. By Christos Aridas_.

• Add a fetching function :func:datasets.fetch_datasets in order to get some
  imbalanced datasets useful for benchmarking. :issue:249 by Guillaume Lemaitre_.

Enhancement

• All samplers accepts sparse matrices with defaulting on CSR type. :issue:316 by
  Guillaume Lemaitre_.

• :func:datasets.make_imbalance take a ratio similarly to other samplers. It
  supports multiclass. :issue:312 by Guillaume Lemaitre_.

• All the unit tests have been factorized and a :func:utils.check_estimators
  has been derived from scikit-learn. By Guillaume Lemaitre_.

• Script for automatic build of conda packages and uploading. :issue:242 by
  Guillaume Lemaitre_

• Remove seaborn dependence and improve the examples. :issue:264 by Guillaume Lemaitre_.

• adapt all classes to multi-class resampling. :issue:290 by Guillaume Lemaitre_

API changes summary

• __init__ has been removed from the :class:base.SamplerMixin to
  create a real mixin class. :issue:242 by Guillaume Lemaitre_.

• creation of a module :mod:exceptions to handle consistant raising of
  errors. :issue:242 by Guillaume Lemaitre_.

• creation of a module utils.validation to make checking of
  recurrent patterns. :issue:242 by Guillaume Lemaitre_.

• move the under-sampling methods in prototype_selection and
  prototype_generation submodule to make a clearer dinstinction. :issue:277 by
  Guillaume Lemaitre_.

• change ratio such that it can adapt to multiple class problems. :issue:290 by
  Guillaume Lemaitre_.

Deprecation

• Deprecation of the use of min_c_ in :func:datasets.make_imbalance. :issue:312 by
  Guillaume Lemaitre_

• Deprecation of the use of float in :func:datasets.make_imbalance for the
  ratio parameter. :issue:290 by Guillaume Lemaitre_.

• deprecate the use of float as ratio in favor of dictionary, string, or
  callable. :issue:290 by Guillaume Lemaitre_.
