Bandit Multiclass Linear Classification: Efficient Algorithms for the Separable Case
We study the problem of efficient online multiclass linear classification with bandit feedback, where all examples belong to one of $K$ classes and lie in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. Previous works have left open the challenge of designing efficient algorithms with finite mistake bounds when the data is linearly separable by a margin $\gamma$. In this work, we take a first step towards this problem. We consider two notions of linear separability: strong and weak. 1. Under the strong linear separability condition, we design an efficient algorithm that achieves a near-optimal mistake bound of $O\left( K/\gamma^2 \right)$. 2. Under the more challenging weak linear separability condition, we design an efficient algorithm with a mistake bound of $\min (2^{\widetilde{O}(K \log^2 (1/\gamma))}, 2^{\widetilde{O}(\sqrt{1/\gamma} \log K)})$. Our algorithm is based on kernel Perceptron, which is inspired by the work of (Klivans and Servedio, 2008) on improperly learning intersection of halfspaces.

Bandit Multiclass Linear Classification for the Group Linear Separable Case
We consider the online multiclass linear classification under the bandit feedback setting. Beygelzimer, P\'{a}l, Sz\"{o}r\'{e}nyi, Thiruvenkatachari, Wei, and Zhang [ICML'19] considered two notions of linear separability…

We consider two scenarios of multiclass online learning of a hypothesis class $H\subseteq Y^X$. In the {\em full information} scenario, the learner is exposed to instances together with their labels. In the {\em bandit} …

We revisit the classical problem of multiclass classification with bandit feedback (Kakade, Shalev-Shwartz and Tewari, 2008), where each input classifies to one of $K$ possible labels and feedback is restricted to whethe…
