Title
High-Probability Regret Bounds for Bandit Online Linear Optimization
Abstract
We present a modification of the algorithm of Dani et al. (8) for the online linear optimization prob- lem in the bandit setting, which with high proba- bility has regret at mostO ( p T ) against an adap- tive adversary. This improves on the previous al- gorithm (8) whose regret is bounded in expecta- tion against an oblivious adversary. We obtain the same dependence on the dimension (n3=2) as that exhibited by Dani et al. The results of this paper rest firmly on those of (8) and the remark- able technique of Auer et al. (2) for obtaining high- probability bounds via optimistic estimates. This paper answers an open question: it eliminates the gap between the high-probability bounds obtained in the full-information vs bandit settings.
