Optimal regret bound established for multiclass online learning

Researchers have established the optimal regret bound for agnostic multiclass online learning when dealing with arbitrary label spaces. This work proves a regret upper bound of $O(\min\{T,\sqrt{dT}\})$ for hypothesis classes with a Littlestone dimension of $d < \infty$ over $T$ rounds. The findings resolve a question posed by Hanneke et al. and extend previous optimal binary regret bounds established by Alon et al. The proof technique involves strengthening a one-sided expert cover to a fractional cover and combining it with a minimax reduction to a finite expert game. AI
