Question 3

You were asked to investigate failures of a production line component based on sensor readings. After receiving the dataset, you discover that less than 1% of the readings are positive examples representing failure incidents. You have tried to train several classification models, but none of them converge. How should you resolve the class imbalance problem?

  • A. Use the class distribution to generate 10% positive examples.
  • B. Use a convolutional neural network with max pooling and softmax activation.
  • C. Downsample the data with upweighting to create a sample with 10% positive examples.
  • D. Remove negative examples until the numbers of positive and negative examples are equal.
