Learning a Single Neuron Robustly to Distributional Shifts and Adversarial Label Noise

NeurIPS 2024poster

We study the problem of learning a single neuron with respect to the $L_2^2$-loss in the presence of adversarial distribution shifts, where the labels can be arbitrary, and the goal is to find a "best-fit" function. More precisely, given training samples from a reference distribution $p_0$, the goa…

Robust Second-Order Nonconvex Optimization and Its Application to Low Rank Matrix Sensing

NeurIPS 2023poster

Finding an approximate second-order stationary point (SOSP) is a well-studied and fundamental problem in stochastic nonconvex optimization with many applications in machine learning. However, this problem is poorly understood in the presence of outliers, limiting the use of existing nonconvex algor…
