*Minimax Regret for Partial Monitoring: Infinite Outcomes and Rustichini's Regret *
The information ratio developed by Russo and Van Roy (2014) is a powerful tool that was recently used to derive upper bounds on the regret for challenging sequential decision-making problems. I will talk about how a generalised version of this machinery can be used to derive lower bounds and give an application showing that a version of mirror descent is minimax optimal for partial monitoring using Rustichini's definition of regret.
