We study the problem of oracle-efficient hybrid online learning when the features are generated by an unknown i.i.d. process and the labels are generated adversarially. Assuming access to an (offline) ERM oracle, we show that there exists a…

Combinatorial multi-armed bandits provide a fundamental online decision-making environment where a decision-maker interacts with an environment across $T$ time steps, each time selecting an action and learning the cost of that action. The…

We consider online convex optimization with a zero-order oracle feedback. In particular, the decision maker does not know the explicit representation of the time-varying cost functions, or their gradients. At each time step, she observes…
