Synthetic minority oversampling technique

Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) is a technique where synthetic data is generated by taking a subset of the data from the minority classes.

This combined dataset is used to classify data. The good thing about this sampling is that there is no loss of information during the entire process.
