Abstract

We present adaptive algorithms with strong datadependent regret guarantees for the problem of bandit convex optimization. In the process, we develop a general framework from which the main previous results in this setting can be recovered. The key method is the introduction of adaptive regularization. By appropriately adapting the exploration scheme, we show that one can derive regret guarantees that can be significantly more favorable than those previously known. Moreover, our analysis also modularizes the problematic quantities in achieving the conjectured minimax optimal rates in the most general setting of the problem.
