In the list-decodable learning setup, an overwhelming majority (say a $1-\beta$-fraction) of the input data consists of outliers and the goal of an algorithm is to output a small list $\mathcal{L}$ of hypotheses such that one of them agrees…

We begin the study of list-decodable linear regression using batches. In this setting only an $\alpha \in (0,1]$ fraction of the batches are genuine. Each genuine batch contains $\ge n$ i.i.d. samples from a common unknown distribution and…

We give the first polynomial time algorithm for \emph{list-decodable covariance estimation}. For any $\alpha > 0$, our algorithm takes input a sample $Y \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ of size $n\geq d^{\mathsf{poly}(1/\alpha)}$ obtained by…

We study the task of list-decodable linear regression using batches. A batch is called clean if it consists of i.i.d. samples from an unknown linear regression distribution. For a parameter $\alpha \in (0, 1/2)$, an unknown…

In list-decodable subspace recovery, the input is a collection of $n$ points $\alpha n$ (for some $\alpha \ll 1/2$) of which are drawn i.i.d. from a distribution $\mathcal{D}$ with a isotropic rank $r$ covariance $\Pi_*$ (the…

In list-decodable learning, we are given a set of data points such that an $\alpha$-fraction of these points come from a nice distribution $D$, for some small $\alpha \ll 1$, and the goal is to output a short list of candidate solutions,…
