This paper studies how to address class imbalance in supervised machine learning by proposing AdaptiveSMOTEGD, which selectively generates synthetic samples in sparse minority regions using local density-based sparsity detection, tunable Gaussian noise injection, and constraints to preserve domain-relevant structure. The authors evaluate the method on eight numerical-only and six mixed-type benchmark datasets using LightGBM, reporting competitive or superior performance versus several SMOTE variants in F1-score, recall, Matthews Correlation Coefficient, and AUC-PR, especially under highly imbalanced and noisy settings, with statistical tests showing significant recall improvements. A stated caveat is that the work is a Research Square preprint that has not been peer reviewed. This paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Abstract Class imbalance remains a persistent challenge in supervised learning, often leading to biased classifiers and poor detection of minority instances. This paper introduces Adaptive Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique with Guided Density (AdaptiveSMOTEGD), a novel method that integrates local density-based sparsity detection, tunable Gaussian noise injection, and domain-specific constraint preservation. Unlike conventional methods such as Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE), Adaptive Synthetic Sampling Approach (ADASYN), Borderline-SMOTE, Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique for Nominal and Continuous features (SMOTENC), Support Vector Machine SMOTE (SVMSMOTE), and KMeans-SMOTE, the proposed approach selectively targets sparse minority regions while avoiding degradation in dense areas. It also supports datasets with purely numerical features as well as those containing both numerical and categorical attributes. Experimental evaluation on eight numerical-only and six mixed-type benchmark datasets using Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) demonstrates that AdaptiveSMOTEGD consistently achieves competitive or superior performance in F1-score, recall, Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC), and area under the precision-recall curve (AUC-PR), particularly under highly imbalanced and noisy conditions. Statistical analysis confirms significant improvements in recall for both numerical-only and mixed datasets, establishing AdaptiveSMOTEGD as a robust, scalable, and versatile solution for real-world imbalanced classification problems.

and poor detection of minority instances. This paper introduces Adaptive Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique with Guided Density (AdaptiveSMOTEGD), a novel method that integrates local density-based sparsity detection, tunable Gaussian noise injection, and domain-specific constraint preservation. Unlike conventional methods such as Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE), Adaptive Synthetic Sampling Approach (ADASYN), Borderline-SMOTE, Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique for Nominal and Continuous features (SMOTENC), Support Vector Machine SMOTE (SVMSMOTE), and KMeans-SMOTE, the proposed approach selectively targets sparse minority regions while avoiding degradation in dense areas. It also supports datasets with purely numerical features as well as those containing both numerical and categorical attributes. Experimental evaluation on eight numerical-only and six mixed-type benchmark datasets using Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) demonstrates that AdaptiveSMOTEGD consistently achieves competitive or superior performance in F1-score, recall, Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC), and area under the precision-recall curve (AUC-PR), particularly under highly imbalanced and noisy conditions. Statistical analysis confirms significant improvements in recall for both numerical-only and mixed datasets, establishing AdaptiveSMOTEGD as a robust, scalable, and versatile solution for real-world imbalanced classification problems.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Adaptive Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique with Density-Guided Noise Injection and Local Density Adaptation","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2025-10-29 00:41:39","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-7945642/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"researchsquare","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":true,"externalIdentity":"","sideBox":"","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"/submission","title":"Research Square","twitterHandle":"researchsquare","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"","reportingPortfolio":"","inReviewEnabled":false,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"9143ae2e-b49c-4b69-a42b-a3779a7728de","owner":[],"postedDate":"October 29th, 2025","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"posted","subjectAreas":[],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2025-12-26T15:23:58+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2025-10-29 00:41:39","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-7945642","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-7945642","identity":"rs-7945642","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"8U1c8b4HqxoKbykW_rLl7","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
