The paper addresses the challenge of creating machine learning learners that can guarantee provably correct predictions in difficult test-time scenarios, such as adversarial attacks and natural distribution shifts. It introduces a reliable learner with optimal theoretical guarantees for these settings and discusses practical implementations. The authors demonstrate strong performance on examples like linear separators under log-concave distributions and smooth boundary classifiers under smooth probability distributions.

Given a dataset where a portion of the samples are contaminated, our goal is to recover the underlying clean population distribution. To this end, we propose Wasserstein Filtering (WF), a novel sample selection framework that discards a fraction of suspicious samples and estimates the target distribution using the empirical measure of the remaining data.
arXiv:2606. 14965v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Synthetic instance-dependent label noise (IDN) benchmarks are widely used to evaluate noisy-label learning methods, yet existing approaches typically generate noise through imperfect annotators or classifier raters, leaving the source of ambiguity implicit.
