Description
We study online learnability of a wide class of problems, extending the results of [21] to general notions of performance measure well beyond external regret. Our framework simultaneously captures such well-known notions as internal and general ϕ-regret, learning with non-additive global cost functions, Blackwell's approachability, calibration of forecasters, and more. We show that learnability in all these situations is due to control of the same three quantities: a martingale convergence term, a term describing the ability to perform well if future is known, and a generalization of sequential Rademacher complexity, studied in [21]. Since we directly study complexity of the problem instead of focusing on efficient algorithms, we are able to improve and extend many known results which have been previously derived via an algorithmic construction.
