Imbalanced Data and Resampling
Imbalanced data is when one class is rare (fraud, churn, disease), so a model that predicts only the majority scores high accuracy while being useless. The fixes are resampling, class weighting, and threshold moving, plus picking the right metric. Applied AI interviews probe it because nearly every real classification problem is skewed, and the trap of resampling the test set or trusting accuracy is common.
