Parameter-free Algorithms for the Stochastically Extended Adversarial Model

2025-10-06 · Shuche Wang, Adarsh Barik, Peng Zhao, Vincent Y. F. Tan arxiv

We develop the first parameter-free algorithms for the Stochastically Extended Adversarial (SEA) model, a framework that bridges adversarial and stochastic online convex optimization. Existing approaches for the SEA model require prior knowledge of problem-specific parameters, such as the diameter of the domain $D$ and the Lipschitz constant of the loss functions $G$, which limits their practical applicability. Addressing this, we develop parameter-free methods by leveraging the Optimistic Online Newton Step (OONS) algorithm to eliminate the need for these parameters. We first establish a comparator-adaptive algorithm for the scenario with unknown domain diameter but known Lipschitz constant, achieving an expected regret bound of $\tilde{O}\big(\|u\|_2^2 + \|u\|_2(\sqrt{σ^2_{1:T}} + \sqrt{Σ^2_{1:T}})\big)$, where $u$ is the comparator vector and $σ^2_{1:T}$ and $Σ^2_{1:T}$ represent the cumulative stochastic variance and cumulative adversarial variation, respectively. We then extend this to the more general setting where both $D$ and $G$ are unknown, attaining the comparator- and Lipschitz-adaptive algorithm. Notably, the regret bound exhibits the same dependence on $σ^2_{1:T}$ and $Σ^2_{1:T}$, demonstrating the efficacy of our proposed methods even when both parameters are unknown in the SEA model.

Gradient-Variation Regret Bounds for Unconstrained Online Learning

2026-04-13 · Yuheng Zhao, Andrew Jacobsen, Nicolò Cesa-Bianchi, Peng Zhao arxiv

We develop parameter-free algorithms for unconstrained online learning with regret guarantees that scale with the gradient variation $V_T(u) = \sum_{t=2}^T \|\nabla f_t(u)-\nabla f_{t-1}(u)\|^2$. For $L$-smooth convex lo…

Best of both worlds: Stochastic & adversarial best-arm identification

2026-04-16 · Yasin Abbasi-Yadkori, Peter L. Bartlett, Victor Gabillon, Alan Malek 외 arxiv

We study bandit best-arm identification with arbitrary and potentially adversarial rewards. A simple random uniform learner obtains the optimal rate of error in the adversarial scenario. However, this type of strategy is…
