A Further Efficient Algorithm with Best-of-Both-Worlds Guarantees for $m$-Set Semi-Bandit Problem

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2603.11764v1 Announce Type: new This paper studies the optimality and complexity of Follow-the-Perturbed-Leader (FTPL) policy in $m$-set semi-bandit problems. FTPL has been studied extensively as a promising candidate of an efficient algorithm with favorable regret for adversarial combinatorial semi-bandits. Nevertheless, the optimality of FTPL has still been unknown unlike Follow-the-Regularized-Leader (FTRL) whose optimality has been proved for various tasks of online learning.
