SUMMARY:Stanislav Minsker (University of South California) - "Towards robust and efficient mean estimation"
DESCRIPTION:Statistical Seminar: Every Monday at 2:00 pm.\nTime: 2:00 pm – 3:15 pm\nDate: 6th of September 2021\nPlace: salle 1001 et en visio \nStanislav Minsker (University of South California)  – “Towards robust and efficient mean estimation” \nAbstract: Several constructions of the estimators of the mean of a random variable that admit sub-Gaussian deviation guarantees and are robust to adversarial contamination under minimal assumptions have been suggested in the literature. The goal of this talk is to discuss the size of constants appearing in the bounds\, both asymptotic and non-asymptotic\, satisfied by the median-of-means estimator and its analogues. We will describe a permutation-invariant version of the median-of-means estimator and show that it is asymptotically efficient\, unlike its “standard” version. Finally\, applications and extensions of these results to robust empirical risk minimization will be discussed. \nOrganizers:\nCristina BUTUCEA (CREST)\, Alexandre TSYBAKOV (CREST)\, Karim LOUNICI (CMAP) \, Jaouad MOURTADA (CREST)\nSponsors:\nCREST-CMAP \n
