"SKEWED gamma like Non-negative pdf modeling= poor learner performance"

Hi

I have noticed that if a label attribute has a  non negative highly skewed distribution the performance of learners such as Neural net is very poor compared to symmetrical (about zero) pdf problems.

Any way to tweak/bias a learner for such a distribution?

thx

    Cheers,
