How to optimize NN seq2seq classification training with time-dependent class imbalance?












0












$begingroup$


I want to classify timeseries using seq2seq since they have a high chance of being "corrupted" towards the end.



The traces are labelled e.g.



111111100000
555500000000
330000000000
444444440000
444444444444


as you can see, they (almost) always end up in zero-land.



If I plot the label-distribution over time, it looks something like the plot below, where the trace has an increasingly growing chance of being terminated and zero-ed at some point.
enter image description here



Are there any common methods for balancing problems like this, or should I simply try to balance classes based on e.g. the first n datapoints only?
