2 Example: Predicion of Spor Mach Oucome V. Vovk, F. Zhdanov. Predicions wih Exper Advice for Brier Game. ICML 08 Bookmakers daa: 4 bookmakers, odds for ennis maches (2 oucomes) 8 bookmakers, odds for 9000 fooball maches (3 oucomes) Odds a i can be ransformed o probabiliies Prob[i]: Prob[i] = 1/a i j 1/a j The loss is measured by he square (Brier) loss funcion. Learner s sraegy is he Aggregaing Algorihm. Alexey Chernov (RHUL) Muliobjecive Predicion wih Exper Advice GTP Workshop, June / 18

6 Aggregaing Algorihm wih Wrong Losses Fac For he game wih 2 oucomes, one can consruc a sequence of predicions of 2 Expers and a sequence of oucomes wih he following propery. If Learner s predicions are generaed by he Aggregaing Algorihm for he log loss hen for almos all T Loss(T ) Loss E1 (T ) + T /10, where Loss(T ) and Loss E1 (T ) are he square losses of Learner and Exper 1. A similar saemen holds for he Aggregaing Algorihm for he square loss evaluaed by he log loss. Alexey Chernov (RHUL) Muliobjecive Predicion wih Exper Advice GTP Workshop, June / 18
