Thoughts on Severe Class Imbalance

Besides lots of family time and the creation of this blog/website, this is what I’ve been thinking about over the winter break. Background As part of my research in emergent reducibility, I’ve had to face a binary classification situation with severe class imbalance. Among brute-force searches, it seems that there’s roughly 1 case of emergent reducibility (what I’m looking for) for every 1 million irreducible cubic polynomials. It is known that there are infinitely many cubic polynomials with emergent reducibility.

Emergent Reducibility

Work to understand why some irreducible polynomials will factor after being composed with themselves - this is a very rare phenomenon
