Learning Distributionally Robust Models at Scale via Composite Optimization

Farzin Haddadpour, Mohammad Mahdi Kamani, Mehrdad Mahdavi +1

To train machine learning models that are robust to distribution shifts in the data, distributionally robust optimization (DRO) has been proven very effective. However, the existin…
