**Self-paced Ensemble (SPE) is an ensemble learning framework for massive highly imbalanced classification. It is an easy-to-use solution to class-imbalanced problems, features outstanding computing efficiency, good performance, and wide compatibility with different learning models. This SPE implementation supports multi-class classification.**
Note:
SPE is now a part of imbalanced-ensemble [Doc, PyPI]. Try it for more methods and advanced features!

## Background
SPE performs strictly balanced under-sampling in each iteration and is therefore very *computationally efficient*. In addition, SPE does not rely on calculating the distance between samples to perform resampling. It can be easily applied to datasets that lack well-defined distance metrics (e.g. with categorical features / missing values) without any modification. Moreover, as a *generic ensemble framework*, our methods can be easily adapted to most of the existing learning methods (e.g., C4.5, SVM, GBDT, and Neural Network) to boost their performance on imbalanced data. Compared to existing imbalance learning methods, *SPE works particularly well on datasets that are large-scale, noisy, and highly imbalanced (e.g. with imbalance ratio greater than 100:1).* Such kind of data widely exists in real-world industrial applications. The figure below gives an overview of the SPE framework.
## Documentation
**Our SPE implementation can be used much in the same way as the [`sklearn.ensemble`](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/classes.html#module-sklearn.ensemble) classifiers. Detailed documentation of ``SelfPacedEnsembleClassifier`` can be found [HERE](https://imbalanced-ensemble.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/ensemble/_autosummary/imbens.ensemble.SelfPacedEnsembleClassifier.html).**
## Examples
You can check out [**examples using SPE**](https://imbalanced-ensemble.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/ensemble/_autosummary/imbens.ensemble.SelfPacedEnsembleClassifier.html#examples-using-imbalanced-ensemble-ensemble-selfpacedensembleclassifier) for more comprehensive usage examples.
### **API demo**
```python
from self_paced_ensemble import SelfPacedEnsembleClassifier
from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier
from sklearn.datasets import make_classification
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
# Prepare class-imbalanced train & test data
X, y = make_classification(n_classes=2, random_state=42, weights=[0.1, 0.9])
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(
X, y, test_size=0.5, random_state=42)
# Train an SPE classifier
clf = SelfPacedEnsembleClassifier(
base_estimator=DecisionTreeClassifier(),
n_estimators=10,
).fit(X_train, y_train)
# Predict with an SPE classifier
clf.predict(X_test)
```
### **Advanced usage example**
Please see [usage_example.ipynb](https://github.com/ZhiningLiu1998/self-paced-ensemble/blob/master/examples/usage_example.ipynb).
### Save & Load model
We recommend to use joblib or pickle for saving and loading SPE models, e.g.,
```python
from joblib import dump, load
# save the model
dump(clf, filename='clf.joblib')
# load the model
clf = load('clf.joblib')
```
You can also use the alternative APIs provided in SPE:
```python
from self_paced_ensemble.utils import save_model, load_model
# save the model
clf.save('clf.joblib') # option 1
save_model(clf, 'clf.joblib') # option 2
# load the model
clf = load_model('clf.joblib')
```
### **Compare SPE with other methods**
Please see [comparison_example.ipynb](https://github.com/ZhiningLiu1998/self-paced-ensemble/blob/master/examples/comparison_example.ipynb).
