While error mitigation techniques exist, they often require a prohibitive number of measurements, making the process resource-intensive. In this work, we demonstrate that by explicitly accounting for measurement errors, high-fidelity entanglement detection can be achieved with significantly less data.We introduce a machine-learning-based approach that delivers noise-resilient entanglement classification even with imperfect measurements. Our method employs support vector machines (SVMs) trained on features from Pauli measurements to construct a robust optimal entanglement witness (ROEW). By optimizing SVM parameters against worst-case errors, our protocol ensures effectiveness under unknown measurement noise. Numerical experiments show that ROEW maintains high classification accuracy even when measurement errors exceed 10%. Crucially, we demonstrate that training the model using only 20% of the typical dataset suffices to achieve high accuracy and substantial error reduction. Our proposed ROEW significantly outperforms traditional non-robust models, maintaining superior detection performance under elevated noise. This work bridges machine learning and quantum information science, offering a practical tool for noise-robust quantum characterization and advancing the feasibility of entanglement-based technologies.
