This problem has received renewed attention in the last few years\, both from statistical and computational points of view. In this talk\, we review some recent results on the statistical perf ormance of mean estimators that allow heavy tails and adversarial contamin ation in the data. In particular\, we are interested in estimators that ha ve a near-optimal error in all directions in which the variance of the one dimensional marginal of the random vector is not too small. The material of this talk is based on a series of joint papers with Shahar Mendelson.\n \nThis conference will be held in hybrid mode with a limited number of 21 participants on site.
