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.

Abstract: We study switching regret in adversarial multi-armed bandits, where the learner competes with an arm sequence that changes at most $S$ times. When $S$...

arXiv:2510. 24187v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We consider the adversarial linear bandits setting and present a unified algorithmic framework that bridges Follow-the-Regularized-Leader (FTRL) and Follow-the-Perturbed-Leader (FTPL) methods, extending the known connection between them from the full-information setting.

The paper presents an improved analysis of non‑consecutive gradient variation in Bandit Convex Optimization (BCO) with two‑point feedback, leading to better dimension dependence for both convex and strongly convex functions compared to prior work. It also derives new problem‑dependent guarantees such as gradient‑variance and small‑loss regret bounds, extends the technique to one‑point bandit linear optimization over hyper‑rectangular domains, and establishes the first gradient‑variation dynamic and universal regret bounds for two‑point BCO.

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.
