Introduction Image classification is a standard computer vision task and involves training a model to assign a label to a given image, such as a model to classify images of different root vegetables. A big problem with classification is bias, and the models favouring a particular image class above the others. A common cause of this can be dataset imbalance, and it is often hard to spot as a model trained on an imbalanced dataset can often still have good accuracy.
