Diabetes is a prevalent chronic condition that poses significant challenges to early diagnosis and identifying at-risk individuals. Machine learning plays a crucial role in diabetes detection by leveraging its ability to process large volumes of data and identify complex patterns. However, imbalanced data, where the number of diabetic cases is substantially smaller than non-diabetic cases, complicates the identification of individuals with diabetes using machine learning algorithms. Our study focuses on predicting whether a person is at risk of diabetes, considering the individuals health and socio-economic conditions while mitigating the challenges posed by imbalanced data. To minimize the impact of imbalance data, we employed several data augmentation techniques such as oversampling (SMOTE-N), undersampling (ENN), and hybrid sampling techniques (SMOTE-Tomek and SMOTE-ENN) on training data before applying machine learning algorithms. Our study sheds light on the significance of carefully utilizing data augmentation techniques, without any data leakage, in enhancing the effectiveness of machine learning algorithms. Moreover, it offers a complete machine learning structure for healthcare practitioners, from data obtaining to ML prediction, enabling them to make data-informed strategies.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
