Resumo

Machine learning models often suffer from performance degradation when dealing with class distributions that differ from the training distribution, a scenario commonly referred to as label shift. Addressing this challenge, this paper introduces Match, a novel adjustment approach that maximizes the likelihood of predicted probabilities under class prevalence constraints. Unlike existing methods such as retraining with instance re-weighting and the Bayes update rule, Match ensures that the adjusted class distribution aligns precisely with the prevalence estimates from quantifiers. By formulating the adjustment process as a binary integer linear optimization problem, Match benefits from efficient mixed-integer solvers. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Match outperforms the state-of-the-art in classifier adjustment with statistical significance, particularly in handling scenarios with imbalanced distributions.
