New theoretical guarantees for outlier-robust subspace recovery

Researchers have developed theoretical guarantees for the subspace-constrained Tyler's estimator (STE), a method for identifying low-dimensional subspaces in datasets with many outliers. The study demonstrates that STE can effectively recover the underlying subspace, even when the proportion of inliers is too low for other methods to succeed. This work shows that with proper initialization, STE can achieve linear convergence and exact subspace recovery, and also provides guarantees for approximate recovery in the presence of noisy inliers.
