Learning the Learning Rate for Prediction with Expert Advice
Joint work with Tim van Erven and Peter Grunwald
Most standard algorithms for prediction with expert advice depend on a parameter called the learning rate. This learning rate needs to be large enough to fit the data well, but small enough to prevent overfitting. For the exponential weights algorithm, a sequence of prior work has...
