The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Under standard assumptions, our algorithms achieve sublinear cumulative average regret of order O(d sqrt(sum_{t=1}^T sigma_t^2) + sqrt(d T)) for sufficiently wide neural networks.

C2weakest assumption

The neural networks must be sufficiently wide to approximate the unknown nonlinear utility functions, and the variance-aware exploration strategy must be effective when computed solely from last-layer gradients without requiring deeper network information.

C3one line summary

Variance-aware neural dueling bandit algorithms achieve sublinear regret of order O(d sqrt(sum sigma_t^2) + sqrt(d T)) for wide networks on nonlinear utilities.
