Abstract

Continuously growing technology enhances creativity and simplifies humans' lives and offers the possibility to anticipate and satisfy their unmet needs. Understanding emotions is a crucial part of human behavior. Machines must deeply understand emotions to be able to predict human needs. Most tweets have sentiments of the user. It inherits the imbalanced class distribution. Most machine learning (ML) algorithms are likely to get biased towards the majority classes. The imbalanced distribution of classes gained extensive attention as it has produced many research challenges. It demands efficient approaches to handle the imbalanced data set. Strategies used for balancing the distribution of classes in the case study are handling redundant data, resampling training data, and data augmentation. Six methods related to these techniques have been examined in a case study. Upon conducting experiments on the Twitter dataset, it is seen that merging minority classes and shuffle sentence methods outperform other techniques.
