Research Type Theoretical Our main contribution is an algorithm for robust sparse mean estimation which runs in subquadratic time using poly(k, log d, 1/ϵ) samples, with similar results for robust sparse PCA. Our results build on algorithmic advances in detecting weak correlations, a generalized version of the light-bulb problem by Valiant (Valiant, 2015).
