We study the problem of PAC learning halfspaces on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with Massart noise under the Gaussian distribution. In the Massart model, an adversary is allowed to flip the label of each point $\mathbf{x}$ with unknown probability $η(\mathbf{x}) \leq η$, for some parameter $η\in [0,1/2]$. The goal is to find a hypothesis with misclassification error of $\mathrm{OPT} + ε$, where $\mathrm{OPT}$ is the error of the target halfspace. This problem had been previously studied under two assumptions: (i) the target halfspace is homogeneous (i.e., the separating hyperplane goes through the origin), and (ii) the parameter $η$ is strictly smaller than $1/2$. Prior to this work, no nontrivial bounds were known when either of these assumptions is removed. We study the general problem and establish the following: For $η<1/2$, we give a learning algorithm for general halfspaces with sample and computational complexity $d^{O_η(\log(1/γ))}\mathrm{poly}(1/ε)$, where $γ=\max\{ε, \min\{\mathbf{Pr}[f(\mathbf{x}) = 1], \mathbf{Pr}[f(\mathbf{x}) = -1]\} \}$ is the bias of the target halfspace $f$. Prior efficient algorithms could only handle the special case of $γ= 1/2$. Interestingly, we establish a qualitatively matching lower bound of $d^{Ω(\log(1/γ))}$ on the complexity of any Statistical Query (SQ) algorithm. For $η= 1/2$, we give a learning algorithm for general halfspaces with sample and computational complexity $O_ε(1) d^{O(\log(1/ε))}$. This result is new even for the subclass of homogeneous halfspaces; prior algorithms for homogeneous Massart halfspaces provide vacuous guarantees for $η=1/2$. We complement our upper bound with a nearly-matching SQ lower bound of $d^{Ω(\log(1/ε))}$, which holds even for the special case of homogeneous halfspaces.
