We study the prototypical problem of high-dimensional linear regression in a robust model where anε-fraction of the samples can be adversarially corrupted. We focus on the fundamental setting where the covariates of the uncorrupted samples are drawn from a Gaussian distributionN(0, ∑) on ℝd. We give nearly tight upper bounds and computational lower bounds for this problem. Specifically, our main contributions are as follows:For the case that the covariance matrix is known to be the identity, we give a sample near-optimal and computationally efficient algorithm that drawsÕ(d/ε2) labeled examples and outputs a candidate hypothesis vector that approximates the unknown regression vectorβwithinℓ2-normO(εlog(1/ε)σ), whereσis the standard deviation of the random observation noise. An error of Ω(εσ) is information-theoretically necessary, even with infinite sample size. Hence, the error guarantee of our algorithm is optimal, up to a logarithmic factor in 1/ε. Prior work gave an algorithm for this problem with sample complexity whose error guarantee scales with theℓ2-norm ofβ.For the case of unknown covariance ∑, we show that we can efficiently achieve the same error guarantee ofO(εlog(1/ε)σ), as in the known covariance case, using an additionalÕ(d2/ε2) unlabeled examples. On the other hand, an error ofO(εσ) can be information-theoretically attained withO(d/ε2) samples. We prove a Statistical Query (SQ) lower bound providing evidence that this quadratic tradeoff in the sample size is inherent. More specifically, we show that any polynomial time SQ learning algorithm for robust linear regression (in Huber's contamination model) with estimation complexityO(d2–c), wherec> 0 is an arbitrarily small constant, must incur an error of .
