Class imbalance exists in many classification problems, and since the data is
designed for accuracy, imbalance in data classes can lead to classification
challenges with a few classes having higher misclassification costs. The
Backblaze dataset, a widely used dataset related to hard discs, has a small
amount of failure data and a large amount of health data, which exhibits a
serious class imbalance. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of
research in the field of imbalanced data classification. The discussion is
organized into three main aspects: data-level methods, algorithmic-level
methods, and hybrid methods. For each type of method, we summarize and analyze
the existing problems, algorithmic ideas, strengths, and weaknesses.
Additionally, the challenges of unbalanced data classification are discussed,
along with strategies to address them. It is convenient for researchers to
choose the appropriate method according to their needs
