Abstract
Online learning with expert advice is a fundamental problem of sequential prediction. In this problem, the algorithm has access to a set of n “experts” who make predictions on each day. The goal on each day is to process these predictions, and make a prediction with the minimum cost. After making a prediction, the algorithm sees the actual outcome on that day, updates its state, and then moves on to the next day. An algorithm is judged by how well it does compared to the best expert in the set.
