Abstract

In recent years, new proposals have emerged for tackling the classification problem based on Deep Learning (DL) techniques. These proposals have shown good results in certain fields, such as image recognition. However, there are factors that must be analyzed to determine how they influence the results obtained by these new algorithms. In this paper, the classification of imbalanced data with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is analyzed. To do this, a series of tests will be performed in which the classification of real images of traffic signals by CNNs will be performed based on data with different imbalance levels.
