Robust Matrix Completion with Heavy-Tailed Noise by Bingyan Wang (275853)

“…We prove that under merely a bounded second-moment condition on the error distributions, rather than the sub-Gaussian assumption, the Euclidean errors of the iterates generated by the proposed algorithm decrease geometrically fast until achieving a minimax-optimal statistical estimation error, which has the same order as that in the sub-Gaussian case. …”
