Research Type Theoretical We study the design of computationally efficient online learning algorithms under smoothed analysis. Given access to an offline optimization (ERM) oracle, we give the first computationally efficient online algorithms whose sublinear regret depends only on the pseudo/VC dimension d of the class and the smoothness parameter σ. In particular, we achieve oracle-efficient regret bounds of O(Tdσ 1) for learning real-valued functions and O(Tdσ 1/2) for learning binary-valued functions.
