Abstract: Abstract The problem of imbalanced regression is widely prevalent in various intelligent manufacturing systems, significantly constraining the industrial application of machine learning models. Existing research has overlooked the impact of redundant data and has lost valuable information within unlabeled data, therefore, the effectiveness of the models is limited. To this end, we propose a novel model framework (sNN-ST, similarity-based nearest neighbor and Self-Training fusion) to address imbalanced regression in industrial big data. This approach comprises two main steps: first, we identify and remove redundant samples by analyzing the redundancy relationships among samples. Then, we perform pseudo-labeling on unlabeled data, selectively incorporating reliable and non-redundant samples into the labeled dataset. We validate the proposed method on two imbalanced regression datasets. Removing redundant data and effectively utilizing unlabeled data optimize the dataset's distribution and enhance its information entropy. Consequently, the processed dataset significantly improves the overall model performance. We used this model to conduct a Multi-Parameter Global Relative Sensitivity Analysis within a production system. This analysis optimized existing process parameters and improved product quality consistency. This research presents a promising approach to addressing imbalanced regression problems.
