We study least-squares trace regression when the parameter is the sum of a $r$-low-rank matrix and a $s$-sparse matrix and a fraction $\epsilon$ of the labels is corrupted. For subgaussian distributions and feature-dependent noise, we…

Sparse linear regression methods such as Lasso require a tuning parameter that depends on the noise variance, which is typically unknown and difficult to estimate in practice. In the presence of heavy-tailed noise or adversarial outliers,…

We consider a robust linear regression model $y=X\beta^* + \eta$, where an adversary oblivious to the design $X\in \mathbb{R}^{n\times d}$ may choose $\eta$ to corrupt all but an $\alpha$ fraction of the observations $y$ in an arbitrary…
