Generalized Huber Loss for Robust Learning and its Efficient Minimization for a Robust Statistics

28 Aug 2021  ·  Kaan Gokcesu, Hakan Gokcesu ·

We propose a generalized formulation of the Huber loss. We show that with a suitable function of choice, specifically the log-exp transform; we can achieve a loss function which combines the desirable properties of both the absolute and the quadratic loss. We provide an algorithm to find the minimizer of such loss functions and show that finding a centralizing metric is not that much harder than the traditional mean and median.
