This paper studies active regression for single-index models under general $\ell_p$-loss with an unknown $1$-Lipschitz link function $f$, formulated as $\min_{f,x} \|f(Ax)-b\|_p^p$ with full access to $A$ but coordinate-query access to $b$. Prior work established upper bounds for known link functions for all $p\geq 1$ and for unknown link functions only in the $p=2$ case, together with lower bounds for $p\leq 2$.

The paper studies contextual bilateral trade with full feedback, showing that action-independent observations eliminate the usual polynomial adaptation penalty seen in heavy-tailed bandits. It presents fully parameter-free algorithms that achieve oracle minimax regret rates without knowing the moment order or scale, and derives new regret bounds for both parametric and nonparametric settings. The key technical insight is a paired squared‑loss statistic whose noise cancels, enabling model selection and yielding regret rates that interpolate between classical nonparametric and linear extremes.

The paper introduces the Anchored Extra-Proximal (AEP) framework for solving composite monotone inclusion problems, combining anchored extrapolation with an inexact anchored proximal update. By replacing the operator in the implicit update with its Taylor approximation and using a bisection line search, the authors derive a pth-order method that achieves a tangent-residual error ε in “~O(ε^{-2/(3p-1)})” oracle calls for every p ≥ 2. This complexity matches a proven lower bound, establishing the method as optimally efficient for deterministic algorithms in the pth-order oracle model.
