A new research paper introduces "sign-betting regression," an approach to bounded regression that uses the L1 distance to the conditional mean instead of the standard L2 distance. This method is particularly relevant for downstream applications like bandits and reinforcement learning. The paper demonstrates that sign-betting regression achieves high-probability L1 oracle inequalities even when the model is misspecified, and under realizability, it adapts to the average conditional variance to achieve optimal rates. The research also characterizes the optimal universal approximation factor for proper learning in this context, showing sign-betting regression achieves a factor of 3, which is the theoretical limit.
