We consider online convex optimization when a number k of data points are outliers that may be corrupted. We model this by introducing the notion of robust regret, which measures the regret only on rounds that are not outliers. The aim for…

We consider the online carpooling problem: given $n$ vertices, a sequence of edges arrive over time. When an edge $e_t = (u_t, v_t)$ arrives at time step $t$, the algorithm must orient the edge either as $v_t \rightarrow u_t$ or $u_t…
