In this work we present an overview of statistical learning, followed by a survey of robust streaming techniques and challenges, culminating in several rigorous results proving the relationship that we motivate and hint at throughout the journey. Furthermore, we unify often disjoint theorems in a shared framework and notation to clarify the deep connections that are discovered. We hope that by approaching these results from a shared perspective, already aware of the technical connections that exist, we can enlighten the study of both fields and perhaps motivate new and previously unconsidered directions of research.
