We study online optimization for a broad class of structured non-convex non-smooth problems where each loss is a composition of a difference-of-convex function with a smooth mapping, and the feasible region is defined by constraint functions of the same kind. We propose a time-smoothed proximal linear algorithm and a local-regret measure based on a proximal residual mapping.
