The Lazy Online Subgradient Algorithm is Universal on Strongly Convex Domains

Neural Information Processing Systems 

We study Online Lazy Gradient Descent for optimisation on a strongly convex domain. The algorithm is known to achieve $O(\sqrt N)$ regret against adversarial opponents; here we show it is universal in the sense that it also achieves $O(\log N)$ expected regret against i.i.d opponents.
