- W2118075434 abstract "Online learning is the process of answering a sequence of questions given knowledge of the correct answers to previous questions and possibly additional available information. Answering questions in an intelligent fashion and being able to make rational decisions as a result is a basic feature of everyday life. Will it rain today (so should I take an umbrella)? Should I fight the wild animal that is after me, or should I run away? Should I open an attachment in an email message or is it a virus? The study of online learning algorithms is thus an important domain in machine learning, and one that has interesting theoretical properties and practical applications. This dissertation describes a novel framework for the design and analysis of online learning algorithms. We show that various online learning algorithms can all be derived as special cases of our algorithmic framework. This unified view explains the properties of existing algorithms and also enables us to derive several new interesting algorithms. Online learning is performed in a sequence of consecutive rounds, where at each round the learner is given a question and is required to provide an answer to this question. After predicting an answer, the correct answer is revealed and the learner suffers a loss if there is a discrepancy between his answer and the correct one. The algorithmic framework for online learning we propose in this dissertation stems from a connection that we make between the notions of regret in online learning and weak duality in convex optimization. Regret bounds are the common thread in the analysis of online learning algorithms. A regret bound measures the performance of an online algorithm relative to the performance of a competing prediction mechanism, called a competing hypothesis. The competing hypothesis can be chosen in hindsight from a class of hypotheses, after observing the entire sequence of question- answer pairs. Over the years, competitive analysis techniques have been refined and extended to numerous prediction problems by employing complex and varied notions of progress toward a good competing hypothesis. We propose a new perspective on regret bounds which is based on the notion of duality in convex optimization. Regret bounds are universal in the sense that they hold for any possible fixed hypothesis in a given hypothesis class. We therefore cast the universal bound as a lower bound" @default.
