arXiv:2607. 17607v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study whether stochastic nonconvex optimization can be reduced to ordinary static regret minimization in online convex optimization in a black-box manner.

arXiv:2606. 08028v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study high-probability regret bounds for online convex optimization (OCO) with strongly convex losses and establish three results that resolve open questions at the intersection of noise adaptivity, feedback structure, and constraint satisfaction.

arXiv:2606. 14640v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study Online Convex Optimization (OCO) over a convex set $K\subseteq \mathbb R^d$, where in each round $t$ the learner selects $x_t\in K$ and then observes a convex loss $f_t:K\to[0,1]$, with the goal of minimizing regret to the best fixed decision in hindsight.

arXiv:2607. 10808v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The problem of constrained online convex optimization is considered, where at each round, once a learner commits to an action $x_t \in \mathcal{X} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, a convex loss function $f_t$ and a convex constraint function $g_t$ that drives the constraint $g_t(x)\le 0$ are revealed.

arXiv:2510. 22819v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The convergence analysis of online learning algorithms is central to machine learning theory, where the last-iterate convergence is particularly important, as it captures the learner's actual decisions and describes the evolution of the learning process over time.

arXiv:2602. 05657v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The study of tail behaviour of SGD-induced processes has been attracting a lot of interest, due to offering strong guarantees with respect to individual runs of an algorithm.

arXiv:2607. 19854v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study horizon-free regret minimization for finite-horizon time-homogeneous tabular Markov decision processes with $S$ states, $A$ actions, horizon $H$, and per-trajectory total reward bounded by $1$.
