Bandit convex optimization (BCO) is a fundamental online learning framework with partial feedback, where the learner observes only the loss incurred at the chosen decision point in each round. In this work, we investigate whether optimistic…

We study online learning with bandit feedback (i.e. learner has access to only zeroth-order oracle) where cost/reward functions $\f_t$ admit a "pseudo-1d" structure, i.e. $\f_t(\w) = \loss_t(\pred_t(\w))$ where the output of $\pred_t$ is…

We prove that the information-theoretic upper bound on the minimax regret for zeroth-order adversarial bandit convex optimisation is at most $O(d^{2.5} \sqrt{n} \log(n))$, where $d$ is the dimension and $n$ is the number of interactions.…
