A new paper titled "The concentration game: Bayesian updating, regret, and information" by Akshay Balsubramani explores a two-player zero-sum repeated game. This game's value identity is designed to simultaneously generate Bayesian updating and an exact accounting of exponential-weights regret. The research introduces a comparator-class variational form that underlies various concentration phenomena, with the terminal payoff representing the maximum gain a comparator can achieve relative to a prior at a fixed relative entropy. The paper details how Gibbs/Bayes weights emerge as the unique Bellman equalizer for the learner, with log-partition functions serving as value functions. AI
