Sequence prediction under a lying oracle

2026-08-14 · Puspabeethi Samanta, Nikhil Karamchandani, Jayakrishnan Nair arxiv

We consider the problem of sequential prediction of an $m$-ary sequence, where at each epoch, (i) the environment selects an outcome from an $m$-ary alphabet, (ii) the learner selects a probability distribution over the same alphabet (unaware of the outcome generated by the environment), and finally, (iii) the learner incurs a cost that depends on the probability assigned to the outcome. The cost function we consider captures the complexity of predicting the outcome generated by the environment, in a scenario where the aforementioned prediction is performed via comparative queries to a lying oracle. We consider both stochastic and adversarial environments, propose algorithms for both settings, and establish logarithmic upper bounds on their regret.

Sequential Mode Estimation with Oracle Queries

2019-11-19 · Dhruti Shah, Tuhinangshu Choudhury, Nikhil Karamchandani, Aditya Gopalan

We consider the problem of adaptively PAC-learning a probability distribution $\mathcal{P}$'s mode by querying an oracle for information about a sequence of i.i.d. samples $X_1, X_2, \ldots$ generated from $\mathcal{P}$.…
