Parameter-Free Online Learning via Model Selection

Neural Information Processing Systems

We introduce an efficient algorithmic framework for model selection in online learning, also known as parameter-free online learning. Departing from previous work, which has focused on highly structured function classes such as nested balls in Hilbert space, we propose a generic meta-algorithm framework that achieves online model selection oracle inequalities under minimal structural assumptions. We give the first computationally efficient parameter-free algorithms that work in arbitrary Banach spaces under mild smoothness assumptions; previous results applied only to Hilbert spaces. We further derive new oracle inequalities for matrix classes, non-nested convex sets, and $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ with generic regularizers. Finally, we generalize these results by providing oracle inequalities for arbitrary non-linear classes in the online supervised learning model. These results are all derived through a unified meta-algorithm scheme using a novel multi-scale algorithm for prediction with expert advice based on random playout, which may be of independent interest.

Smith's controversial comments about Memphis sparked backlash, Barkley stepped in and delivered a blunt response. The debate quickly turned into a heated clash over media responsibility, perception, and what crosses the line. The Orlando Magic dropped Game 2 of their first-round playoff series to the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday, and it's safe to assume Charles Barkley was mighty confident that the L was coming before the game even tipped off. In the lead-up to the matchup in Detroit, the ESPN broadcast shared a live shot of members of the Magic partaking in some pre-game antics.

The Download: introducing the Nature issue

MIT Technology Review

Plus: Trump signaled he's open to reversing the Anthropic ban. When we talk about "nature," we usually mean something untouched by humans. But little of that world exists today. From microplastics in rainforest wildlife to artificial light in the Arctic Ocean, human influence now reaches every corner of Earth. In this context, what even is nature? And should we employ technology to try to make the world more "natural"?

These New Smart Glasses From Ex-OnePlus Engineers Have a Hidden Cost

WIRED

The Kickstarter-funded glasses from L'Atitude 52 N have AI features bundled for 1 year, but the company doesn't know yet how much it will charge for access after that. Lots of smart glasses have AI bots inside them now. The one in L'Atitude 52 N's glasses is called Goya, named after Francisco Goya, the famous Spanish artist who painted renowned masterpieces of romanticism. CEO and founder Gary Chen, who has worked on wearable devices for companies like Oppo, OnePlus, and HTC, says his company's glasses are focused on travelers, with AI features that act like a tour guide and talk about all the paintings in famous museums. "Basically, you can say, 'Hey, Goya, what is the story about Mona Lisa?'" Chen says. "You can ask anything and, with your permission, they will take a photo to analyze what's in front of you."
