arXiv:2606. 03831v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper investigates non-stationary online learning using the metric of interval regret, which requires an online algorithm to perform well over every time interval.

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:2604. 11151v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We develop parameter-free algorithms for unconstrained online learning with regret guarantees that scale with the gradient variation $V_T(u) = \sum_{t=2}^T \|\nabla f_t(u)-\nabla f_{t-1}(u)\|^2$.
