We consider the problem of mean estimation under quantization and adversarial corruption. We construct multivariate robust estimators that are optimal up to logarithmic factors in two different settings. The first is a one-bit setting, where each bit depends only on a single sample, and the second is a partial quantization setting, in which the estimator may use a small fraction of unquantized data.
