非指数加权聚合:无界损失函数的遗憾界

Non-exponentially weighted aggregation: regret bounds for unbounded loss functions

摘要:

我们处理的问题,在线优化与一般的,可能是无界的,损失函数。众所周知,当损失有界时,指数加权聚集策略(EWA)会导致$T$步后的$\sqrt{T}$出现后悔.在本文中,我们研究了一个广义聚集策略,其中的权重不再指数依赖于损失。我们的策略是基于跟随正规化领导者(FTRL):我们最小化预期损失加上一个正规化,这是一个$ϕ$ -分歧。当正则化子为库尔贝克-莱布勒散度时,我们得到了EWA的一个特例.使用替代分歧可以实现无限的损失,在某些情况下,以最坏的遗憾界限为代价。

英文摘要:

We tackle the problem of online optimization with a general, possibly unbounded, loss function. It is well known that when the loss is bounded, the exponentially weighted aggregation strategy (EWA) leads to a regret in $\sqrt{T}$ after $T$ steps. In this paper, we study a generalized aggregation strategy, where the weights no longer depend exponentially on the losses. Our strategy is based on Follow The Regularized Leader (FTRL): we minimize the expected losses plus a regularizer, that is here a $ϕ$-divergence. When the regularizer is the Kullback-Leibler divergence, we obtain EWA as a special case. Using alternative divergences enables unbounded losses, at the cost of a worst regret bound in some cases.
