Abstract: 
We consider an online learning scenario in which the learner can make
predictions on the basis of a fixed set of experts. We derive upper and lower
relative loss bounds for a class of universal learning algorithms involving a
switching dynamics over the choice of the experts. On the basis of the
performance bounds we provide the optimal a priori discretization for learning
the parameter that governs the switching dynamics. We demonstrate the new
algorithm in the context of wireless networks.

This is joint work with Tommi Jaakkola that appeared, in part, in NIPS 2003.
