arXiv:2506.11336v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study the sample complexity of stochastic convex optimization when problem parameters such as the distance to optimality and the Lipschitz constant are unknown. We pursue two strategies. First, we develop a reliable model selection method that avoids overfitting to the validation set. This method allows us to generically tune the learning rate of stochastic optimization methods to match the optimal known-parameter sample complexity up to log log factors. Second, we develop a regularization-based method that is specialized to the case that
