Dimension-Optimal Dynamic Regret in Exp-Concave Online Learning

arXiv:2610.20187v1 Announce Type: new 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...

Bilateral Trade Under Heavy-Tailed Valuations: Minimax Regret without a Variance Bound

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.
