In contrast to the empirical mean, the Median-of-Means (MoM) is an estimator of the mean $θ$ of a square integrable r.v. $Z$, around which accurate nonasymptotic confidence bounds can be built, even when $Z$ does not exhibit a sub-Gaussian tail behavior. Thanks to the high confidence it achieves on heavy-tailed data, MoM has found various applications in machine learning, where it is used to design training procedures that are not sensitive to atypical observations. More recently, a new line of work is now trying to characterize and leverage MoM's ability to deal with corrupted data. In this context, the present work proposes a general study of MoM's concentration properties under the contamination regime, that provides a clear understanding of the impact of the outlier proportion and the number of blocks chosen. The analysis is extended to (multisample) $U$-statistics, i.e. averages over tuples of observations, that raise additional challenges due to the dependence induced. Finally, we show that the latter bounds can be used in a straightforward fashion to derive generalization guarantees for pairwise learning in a contaminated setting, and propose an algorithm to compute provably reliable decision functions.
