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 $1$.

Abstract: Tracking changing comparators is a central problem in online learning. For exp-concave losses, previous work established the $T^{1/3}P_T^{2/3}$ depende...

Abstract: Can a constant number of linear minimizations per round improve on the $T^{3/4}$ regret rate of online Frank-Wolfe on general convex sets? Weibel et al...
