A Combinatorial Characterization of Supervised Online Learnability (2307.03816v2)
Published 7 Jul 2023 in cs.LG
Abstract: We study the online learnability of hypothesis classes with respect to arbitrary, but bounded loss functions. No characterization of online learnability is known at this level of generality. We give a new scale-sensitive combinatorial dimension, named the sequential minimax dimension, and show that it gives a tight quantitative characterization of online learnability. In addition, we show that the sequential minimax dimension subsumes most existing combinatorial dimensions in online learning theory.
