Robust Learning of Mixtures of Gaussians

ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (SODA), 2020
Abstract

We resolve one of the major outstanding problems in robust statistics. In particular, if XX is an evenly weighted mixture of two arbitrary dd-dimensional Gaussians, we devise a polynomial time algorithm that given access to samples from XX an \eps\eps-fraction of which have been adversarially corrupted, learns XX to error \poly(\eps)\poly(\eps) in total variation distance.
