Abstract

Significant progress has been made in the area of text classification and natural language processing. However, like many other datasets from across different domains, text-based datasets may suffer from class-imbalance. This problem leads to model's bias toward the majority class instances. In this paper, we present a new approach to handle class-imbalance in text data by means of unsupervised learning algorithms. We present class-decomposition using two different unsupervised methods, namely k-means and Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise, applied to two different sentiment analysis data sets. The experimental results show that utilizing clustering to find within-class similarities can lead to significant improvement in learning algorithm's performances as well as reducing the dominance of the majority class instances without causing information loss.
