SUMMARY:Robust Mean Estimation of Gaussian Random Variables
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Malhar Ajit  Managoli\n\nAbstract: \nSuppose we are gi
 ven a set of n i.i.d. samples from a Gaussian with known variance but unkn
 own mean. We wish to estimate the mean. It is well known that the sample m
 ean is an excellent estimator for the true mean.\nHowever\, if a small fra
 ction of the samples are corrupted (i.e. chosen by an adversary instead of
  being drawn from the Gaussian)\, the sample mean can fail spectacularly.\
 nIn this talk\, I will present an estimator which is robust to such corrup
 tions and also show a lower bound.\n
