An optimal algorithm for bandit convex optimization

14 Mar 2016  ·  Elad Hazan, Yuanzhi Li ·

We consider the problem of online convex optimization against an arbitrary adversary with bandit feedback, known as bandit convex optimization. We give the first $\tilde{O}(\sqrt{T})$-regret algorithm for this setting based on a novel application of the ellipsoid method to online learning. This bound is known to be tight up to logarithmic factors. Our analysis introduces new tools in discrete convex geometry.
