Gábor Lugosi

Also known as Gabor Lugosi

Lugosi and Shahar Mendelson coauthored Risk Minimization by Median-of-Means Tournaments. The original paper studies statistical learning and regression through a procedure designed for difficult data distributions. Lugosi and Mendelson coauthored a survey of mean estimation and regression under heavy-tailed distributions. It examines robust statistical estimates and their use in learning problems with defined assumptions. Lugosi and Gergely Neu coauthored Online-to-PAC Conversions. The paper constructs a generalization game and connects online regret bounds with statistical-learning generalization guarantees.

Timeline

  1. 2016

    Risk minimization with difficult data

    Lugosi and Shahar Mendelson coauthored Risk Minimization by Median-of-Means Tournaments. The original paper studies statistical learning and regression through a procedure designed for difficult data distributions.

  2. 2019

    Heavy-tailed distributions

    Lugosi and Mendelson coauthored a survey of mean estimation and regression under heavy-tailed distributions. It examines robust statistical estimates and their use in learning problems with defined assumptions.

    From online learning to generalization

    Lugosi and Gergely Neu coauthored Online-to-PAC Conversions. The paper constructs a generalization game and connects online regret bounds with statistical-learning generalization guarantees.
