Feature Priming in Online Linear Regression: Sparse-Regret Lower Bounds and Tight Coordinatewise Rates

Huibo Xu, Shi Fu, Qixin Zhang +1

In high-dimensional online prediction, sparse comparators motivate regret bounds that depend on sparsity rather than ambient dimension. Feature priming seeks such adaptation by rew…
