Class unbalanced datasets are frequently encountered in a variety of areas including health, security, and finance. Often these datasets create bias in the supervised learning models trained for the prediction task. One of the most successful techniques to handle imbalanced data is...

PSO being a swarm based algorithm, can efficiently lend itself to operate on huge data. This article presents a technique that performs classification using PSO. An initial discussion is carried out describing PSO as a classifier. Three variants of PSO are proposed here; the first variant...
