…no-regret online learning and develop the relevant notions of complexity in a surprising parallel to Statistical Learning Theory. We characterize online learnability through finiteness of the sequential versions of combinatorial…

Abstract: The Kepler mission has established that approximately half of all Sun-like stars harbor planets. Of these, close-in super-Earths are the most common. Understanding the origin of super-Earths can lend…
