Abstract: The aim of this paper is to improve the classification performance based on the multiclass imbalanced datasets. In this paper, we introduce a new resampling approach based on Clustering with sampling for Multiclass Imbalanced classification using Ensemble (C-MIEN). C-MIEN uses the clustering approach to create a new training set for each cluster. The new training sets consist of the new label of instances with similar characteristics. This step is applied to reduce the number of classes then the complexity problem can be easily solved by C-MIEN. After that, we apply two resampling techniques (oversampling and undersampling) to rebalance the class distribution. Finally, the class distribution of each training set is balanced and ensemble approaches are used to combine the models obtained with the proposed method through majority vote. Moreover, we carefully design the experiments and analyze the behavior of C-MIEN with different parameters (imbalance ratio and number of classifiers). The experimental results show that C-MIEN achieved higher performance than state-of-the-art methods.
