One possible approach to tackle the class imbalance in classification tasks is to resample a training dataset, i.e., to drop some of its elements or to synthesize new ones. There exist several widely-used resampling methods. Recent research showed that the choice of resampling method significantly affects the quality of classification, which raises the resampling selection problem. Exhaustive search for optimal resampling is time-consuming and hence it is of limited use. In this paper, we describe an alternative approach to the resampling selection. We follow the meta-learning concept to build resampling recommendation systems, i.e., algorithms recommending resampling for datasets on the basis of their properties.
