arXiv:2609. 26978v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study online inverse linear optimization with a fixed unknown linear utility: in each round, an environment presents a compact action set, the learner recommends an action from it, and the environment returns an action that maximizes the utility over the same set.

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 $1$.
arXiv:2607. 10936v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the bandit-feedback version of online principal component analysis (Bandit PCA): in each round $t = 1,\dots,T$, the adversary selects a $d \times d$ symmetric gain matrix $G_t$ with spectrum in $[0,1]$ and rank at most $r$; the learner simultaneously selects a unit vector $w_t \in S^{d-1}$ and receives the reward $w_t^\top G_t w_t$.
arXiv:2608. 06825v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning from correct demonstrations is harder than supervised learning when many answers are correct: after predicting, the learner sees one valid answer but not whether its own answer was valid, nor any reward.

arXiv:2605. 21107v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study constrained online convex optimization with adversarial time-varying constraints.
The paper studies online convex optimization when the learner can only query an exact linear optimization oracle. It establishes a dimension‑free minimax expected regret bound of θ(GD max{√T, T/(1+min{Q,BT})^{1/4}}) for convex G‑Lipschitz losses, where Q is the total oracle budget and B the per‑round limit. The authors provide matching lower and upper bounds, showing how strict per‑round or total‑budget constraints affect the achievable regret, and extend the analysis to smooth losses with curvature‑dependent bounds.
The paper presents an online algorithm that achieves the same $0.401$ approximation factor for maximizing nonnegative, non-monotone DR-submodular functions over compact convex down-closed subsets of the $d$-dimensional unit cube as the best known offline construction. In the full-information value-oracle model, the algorithm attains this factor with sublinear regret, using $O(dT^{1/4})$ oracle calls per round and $O(T^{3/4})$ regret, and offers flexible batching trade-offs. Under a positive-anchor condition, a randomized blocking strategy preserves the $0.401$ factor while achieving $O(T^{5/6})$ one-point bandit regret.

arXiv:2608. 25182v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we study alternating regret in online convex optimization (OCO), motivated by the success of alternating learning dynamics in two-player games.
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:2508. 11931v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present an oracle-efficient, near-optimal algorithm for linear contextual bandits with adversarial losses and stochastic action sets, only requiring a linear optimization oracle for the action sets in each round.
