Huber-robust confidence sequences

H Wang, A Ramdas - International Conference on Artificial …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
Confidence sequences are confidence intervals that can be sequentially tracked, and are
valid at arbitrary data-dependent stopping times. This paper presents confidence sequences …

Piecewise stationary bandits under risk criteria

S Bhatt, G Fang, P Li - International Conference on Artificial …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
Piecewise stationary stochastic multi-armed bandits have been extensively explored in the
risk-neutral and sub-Gaussian setting. In this work, we consider a multi-armed bandit …

Empirical Risk Minimization for Losses without Variance

G Fang, P Li, G Samorodnitsky - arXiv preprint arXiv:2309.03818, 2023 - arxiv.org
This paper considers an empirical risk minimization problem under heavy-tailed settings,
where data does not have finite variance, but only has $ p $-th moment with $ p\in (1, 2) …

Adaptive Robust Confidence Intervals

Y Luo, C Gao - arXiv preprint arXiv:2410.22647, 2024 - arxiv.org
This paper studies the construction of adaptive confidence intervals under Huber's
contamination model when the contamination proportion is unknown. For the robust …

Robust Score Matching

R Schwank, A McCormack, M Drton - arXiv preprint arXiv:2501.05105, 2025 - arxiv.org
Proposed in Hyv\" arinen (2005), score matching is a parameter estimation procedure that
does not require computation of distributional normalizing constants. In this work we utilize …

Locally Private and Robust Multi-Armed Bandits

X Zhou, W Zhang - The Thirty-eighth Annual Conference on Neural … - openreview.net
We study the interplay between local differential privacy (LDP) and robustness to Huber
corruption and possibly heavy-tailed rewards in the context of multi-armed bandits (MABs) …
