Rare event detection is the task of detecting and identifying low-frequency
but high-impact events. Such events include, in particular, certain types of
rare diseases, complex cyberattacks, industrial equipment failures, and so on.
Predicting and classifying them is challenging due to the limited number of
observations and significant differences in frequency characteristics, which can
vary greatly across different domains. A wide range of rare event detection and
classification methods have been developed, including modern deep learning
approaches capable of achieving high accuracy even with insufficient labeled
training data. In this paper, we propose a new approach to improving the quality
of such models.
