arXiv:2608. 15050v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study online convex optimization with dueling (pairwise comparison) feedback, where the learner observes only a binary preference between two queried points.

arXiv:2607. 00680v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study distributed online submodular maximization under partition matroid constraints, in which multiple agents select a limited number of actions from their own subsets sequentially to maximize the cumulative value of a sequence of objective functions.

arXiv:2605. 09454v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the $\textit{single-index bandit}$ problem, where rewards depend on an unknown one-dimensional projection of high-dimensional contexts through an unknown reward function.

arXiv:2605. 07386v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: \emph{Convex Optimization with Nested Evolving Feasible Sets (CONES)} is considered where the objective function \(f\) remains fixed but the feasible region evolves over time as a nested sequence \(S_1 \supseteq S_2 \supseteq \cdots \supseteq S_T\).

arXiv:2607. 02891v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many online decision-making problems involve both round-specific feasible actions and drifting reward models: eligible ad impressions, feasible prices, and available treatments can change over time, while user preferences, demand curves, and patient responses may evolve.

arXiv:2608. 12134v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study nonnegative submodular maximization subject to a general matroid when the offline algorithm is given an arbitrary controlled value oracle.

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. 04305v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study online learning with an additional offline dataset in the stochastic linear bandit setting.

arXiv:2607. 07304v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper we first study the problem of generalized linear bandit (GLB) under heavy-tailed noise.

In many online learning and bandit problems, the actions we consider possess inherent similarities--for instance because they share latent traits, tags, or hierarchical structure. We study online learning with a similarity-structured action set, encoded by a rooted tree whose leaves are the actions and whose levels quantify how closely two actions are related.
arXiv:2605. 14953v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We address the problem of conformal selection, where an agent must select a minimal subset of options to ensure that at least one ``success'' is identified with a pre-specified target probability $\phi$.
