The present disclosure proposes a method and an apparatus for recommending sample data. The method may include: inputting a plurality of pieces of sample data to be classified into at least one preset classification model, and acquiring a classifying probability of classifying each piece of sample data into each classification model; acquiring a first distance between each piece of sample data and a classifying boundary of each classification model according to the classifying probability of classifying the piece of sample data into the classification model, in which the classifying boundary of the classification model is configured to distinguish positive and negative sample data; computing a target distance for each piece of sample data according to the first distance between each piece of sample data and the classifying boundary of each classification model.
