We study adversarial market making with orders that remain active until execution. The maker operates on two markets: a primary market where orders are made and a secondary market where the resulting...

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 $S$...

By Seoungbin Bae, Dabeen Lee
The paper studies contextual bilateral trade with full feedback, showing that action-independent observations eliminate the usual polynomial adaptation penalty seen in heavy-tailed bandits. It presents fully parameter-free algorithms that achieve oracle minimax regret rates without knowing the moment order or scale, and derives new regret bounds for both parametric and nonparametric settings. The key technical insight is a paired squared‑loss statistic whose noise cancels, enabling model selection and yielding regret rates that interpolate between classical nonparametric and linear extremes.

The paper investigates transfer learning in stochastic multi‑armed bandits when historical data come from an unknown adaptive policy. It establishes asymptotic problem‑dependent lower bounds and introduces the KL‑UCB‑Transfer algorithm, which combines online and historical data to achieve logarithmic regret with an improved constant under certain mean‑gap conditions. The study also relaxes the source‑target discrepancy assumption to a one‑sided condition, demonstrating that logarithmic regret can still be achieved under misspecification and identifying regimes of improvement, degradation, or loss of guarantee.
