This work is a first step towards analyzing this framework through the lens of online learning. We consider the case where the underlying request distribution is apriori unknown and propose an online policy as well as study its regret with respect to an oracle which knows the underlying distribution and employs a well-known order-optimal placement and coded delivery strategy. We also bound the switching cost of this strategy and also discuss a lower bound on the regret of any online scheme in a restricted but natural class of policies.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.05003v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.05003v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"on-the-regret-of-online-coded-caching","repo_url":"https://github.com/sheelfshah/onlinecodedcaching","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
