Reasoning-Enhanced Rare-Event Prediction with Balanced Outcome Correction

arXiv:2601.16406v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Rare-event prediction is critical in domains such as healthcare, finance, reliability engineering, customer support, aviation safety, where positive outcomes are infrequent yet potentially catastrophic. Extreme class imbalance biases conventional models toward majority-class predictions, limiting recall, calibration, and operational usefulness. We propose LPCORP (Low-Prevalence CORrector for Prediction)*, a two-stage framework that combines reasoning-enhanced prediction with confidence-based outcome correction. A reasoning model first produce

Why this matters
Why now

The increasing sophistication of AI models and the critical need for reliable predictions in high-stakes environments converge to drive demand for rare-event prediction improvements.

Why it’s important

Improved rare-event prediction can prevent catastrophic outcomes and unlock significant economic value in domains where positive outcomes are infrequent but highly impactful.

What changes

Traditional AI models are often biased by class imbalance; this new approach offers a method to correct this, leading to more accurate and operationally useful predictions.
