Title:
Inverse Statistical Learning

Abstract:
We propose to consider the problem of statistical learning when we observe a contaminated sample. More precisely, we state fast rates of convergence in classification with errors in variables for deconvolution empirical risk minimizers. These rates depends on the ill-posedness, the margin and the complexity of the problem. The cornerstone of the proof is a bias variance decomposition of the excess risk. 
After a theoretical study of the problem, we turn out into more practical considerations by presenting a new algorithm for noisy finite dimensional clustering called noisy K-means.
