RUBRIC: Realism--Utility Balanced Ranking for Imbalanced Classification

Excerpt

arXiv:2607.09816v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Class imbalance poses a fundamental challenge in risk-sensitive applications such as fraud detection and medical diagnosis, where minority-class samples are scarce yet critical for accurate classification. Existing oversampling methods generate synthetic samples to rebalance class distributions; however, they often produce large numbers of low-quality candidates that distort decision boundaries or introduce artifacts, leading to overfitting and
