Better Full-Matrix Regret via Parameter-Free Online Learning

Neural Information Processing Systems

We provide online convex optimization algorithms that guarantee improved fullmatrix regret bounds. These algorithms extend prior work in several ways. First, we seamlessly allow for the incorporation of constraints without requiring unknown oracle-tuning for any learning rate parameters. Second, we improve the regret analysis of the full-matrix AdaGrad algorithm by suggesting a better learning rate value and showing how to tune the learning rate to this value on-the-fly. Third, all our bounds are obtained via a general framework for constructing regret bounds that depend on an arbitrary sequence of norms.
