Robust Coreset for Continuous-and-Bounded Learning (with Outliers)
share
In this big data era, we often confront large-scale data in many machine learning tasks. A common approach for dealing with large-scale data is to build a small summary, e.g., coreset, that can efficiently represent the original input. However, real-world datasets usually contain outliers and most existing coreset construction methods are not resilient against outliers (in particular, the outliers can be located arbitrarily in the space by an adversarial attacker). In this paper, we propose a novel robust coreset method for the continuous-and-bounded learning problem (with outliers) which includes a broad range of popular optimization objectives in machine learning, like logistic regression and k-means clustering. Moreover, our robust coreset can be efficiently maintained in fully-dynamic environment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first robust and fully-dynamic coreset construction method for these optimization problems. We also conduct the experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of our robust coreset in practice.
