Stepping on the Edge: Curvature A ware Learning Rate Tuners
(Liu and Nocedal, 1989). Similar efforts have been made for Polyak stepsizes (Berrada et al., 2020; Loizou et al., 2021), in addition to new methods which combine distance to optimality with online learning convergence bounds (Cutkosky et al., 2023; Classically-inspired methods, however, have generally struggled to gain traction in deep learning.

In this work, we showthat this "lazy training" phenomenon isnot specific tooverparameterized neural networks, and is due to a choice of scaling, often implicit, that makes the model behave as its linearization around the initialization, thus yielding amodel equivalenttolearning withpositive-definite kernels.
Online EXP3 Learning in Adversarial Bandits with Delayed Feedback
Ilai Bistritz, Zhengyuan Zhou, Xi Chen, Nicholas Bambos, Jose Blanchet
Consider a player that in each of T rounds chooses one of K arms. An adversary chooses the cost of each arm in a bounded interval, and a sequence of feedback delays {dt} that are unknown to the player. After picking arm at at round t, the player receives the cost of playing this arm dt rounds later. In cases where t + dt > T, this feedback is simply missing.
