Machine Learning-Based Classification of Epileptic Seizure Activity from EEG Signals: A Comparative Study of Ensemble Methods and Class-Imbalance Mitigation Strategies
This study demonstrates that ensemble machine learning methods, particularly XGBoost and SMOTE-enhanced voting classifiers, achieve high accuracy (up to 98.19%) and improved seizure recall in classifying EEG signals, while also highlighting the critical importance of data integrity through the correction of a dataset provenance error.
