From Switching to Dynamic Regret: A Simple Reduction via Unbiased Random Sequences

The paper introduces a straightforward framework that transforms dynamic regret minimization into switching regret minimization by constructing an unbiased random sequence for any comparator sequence. Using this reduction, the authors derive dynamic regret bounds for strongly convex and exp-concave losses of “~O(T^{1/3}P_T^{2/3})” and for general convex losses of “O(√{T(1+P_T)})”, matching known minimax optimal results. The approach leverages off-the-shelf switching regret algorithms and controlled variance to achieve these bounds.
