Geoffrey CHINOT (CREST) – “ERM and RERM are tractable and optimal estimators in the ε-contamination model”
Abstract: We study the ERM and RERM with Lipschitz and convex loss functions under a subgaussian assumption on the design. We consider a setting where |O| outliers may contaminate the labels. In that case, we show that the error rate is bounded by r(N) + |O|/N, where N is the total number of observations and r(N) is the optimal error rate in the non-contaminated setting. The main result can be used for both non-regularized and regularized procedures. For instance we present results for the Huber’s M-estimators without penalization or regularized by the l1-norm. For these two applications we get minimax-optimal rates in the ε- contamination model.
