Abstract

Omniprediction is a learning problem that requires suboptimality bounds for each of a family of losses L\mathcal{L} against a family of comparator predictors C\mathcal{C}. We initiate the study of omniprediction in a multiclass setting, where the comparator family C\mathcal{C} may be infinite. Our main result is an extension of the recent binary omniprediction algorithm of [OKK25] to the multiclass setting, with sample complexity (in statistical settings) or regret horizon (in online settings) ε(k+1)\approx \varepsilon^{-(k+1)}, for ε\varepsilon-omniprediction in a kk-class prediction problem. En route to proving this result, we design a framework of potential broader interest for solving Blackwell approachability problems where multiple sets must simultaneously be approached via coupled actions.
