Imbalance in data classification is a frequently discussed problem that is not
well handled by classical classification techniques. The problem we tackled was
to learn binary classification model from large data with accuracy constraint for
the minority class. We propose a new meta-learning method that creates initial
models using cost-sensitive learning by logistic regression and uses these models
as initial chromosomes for genetic algorithm. The method has been successfully
tested on a large real-world data set from our internet security research.
Experiments prove that our method always leads to better results than usage of
logistic regression or genetic algorithm alone. Moreover, this method produces
easily understandable classification model.
