This problem has rec eived renewed attention in the last few years\, both from statistical and computational points of view. In this talk\, we review some recent results on the statistical performance of mean estimators that allow heavy tails and adversarial contamination in the data. In particular\, we are interest ed in estimators that have a near-optimal error in all directions in which the variance of the one dimensional marginal of the random vector is not too small. The material of this talk is based on a series of joint papers with Shahar Mendelson.\n\nWeb site : http://crm.umontreal.ca/colloque-scie nces-mathematiques-quebec/#csmq\n\nColloque des sciences mathématiques du Québec\n Hybride -Places limitées- Salle 5340\, pavillon André-Aisenstadt\n DTSTART:20211112T203000Z DTEND:20211112T213000Z SUMMARY:Gabor Lugosi (UPF and BSE) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/gabor-lugosi-upf-and-bse- 334658 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
