PAC Learning with Bandit Feedback: Sharp Sample Complexity in the Realizable Setting
Hanneke, Steve, Meng, Qinglin, Moran, Shay, Shaeiri, Amirreza
We study the problem of multiclass PAC learning with bandit feedback in the realizable setting. In this framework, there is an unknown data distribution over an instance space $\mathcal{X}$ and a label space $\mathcal{Y}$, as in classical multiclass PAC learning, but the learner does not observe the labels of the i.i.d. training examples. Instead, in each round, it receives an unlabeled instance, predicts its label, and receives bandit feedback indicating only whether the prediction is correct. Despite this restriction, the goal remains the same as in classical PAC learning. We provide a general characterization of the optimal sample complexity of this problem, sharp for every concept class up to logarithmic factors. Our characterization is based on a new combinatorial dimension, termed the bandit $\mathrm{DS}$ dimension, defined via generalized combinatorial structures we call pseudo-boxes. These extend the pseudo-cubes underlying the $\mathrm{DS}$ dimension by allowing a different number of neighbors in each coordinate. In contrast to the $\mathrm{DS}$ dimension, which governs the full-information setting by counting the number of coordinates in the pseudo-cube, the bandit $\mathrm{DS}$ dimension aggregates the number of neighbors across coordinates, leading to a characterization in which the sample complexity scales with the total number of neighbors. We also propose a general learning algorithm achieving the upper bound, based on an algorithmic principle called ListCascade, which connects bandit learning to list learning and may be of independent interest.
Lincoln Riley claims USC was 'snaps away' from the playoff, says he's a better coach now than when at Oklahoma

Lincoln Riley's tenure as head coach of the USC Trojans hasn't been smooth sailing. When he took over ahead of the 2022 season, expectations were high that a coach with his track record would bring the Trojans back to their heyday. While with the Oklahoma Sooners, he went 55-10 and 33-7 in conference, coached in four New Year's Six games, and won 12 games three consecutive seasons.

Fallica is skeptical on if Sorsby will even play college sports again after checking himself into a betting rehab. Brendan Sorsby's college football career should likely be over, according to rules put in place, after the gambling revelations detailed this week in a lawsuit filed against the NCAA by his own attorneys. At a time when athletes are suing the NCAA over nearly every restriction tied to earning opportunities, this case feels far more straightforward.

The New Masculinity of "DTF St. Louis"
The show exists in a strange world where men repeatedly confess their love for each other. Does it make them better people? Much ink has been spilled, and countless TikToks recorded, in an effort to explain the female fervor unleashed by the series " Heated Rivalry ." I, a thirty-eight-year-old woman who owns a T-shirt that bears the logo of Shane Hollander's Montreal Metros and another that celebrates Ilya Rozanov's Boston Raiders (Valentine's Day gifts, it should be said, from my indulgent husband), don't find its appeal so mystifying. Two gorgeous young men, as elegantly muscled as Myron's discus thrower, have ecstatically unbridled, mutually satisfying sex to a soundtrack designed to tickle elder millennials' nostalgia-pleasure centers, all while falling in the kind of soul-sustaining love that most of us can only dream of.
