In the case of bounded-length searches in a family of Boolean functions, we provide tight connections between such “No Free Lunch” conditions and the structure of t-designs and...

متن کاملAn Empirical Overview of the No Free Lunch Theorem and Its Effect on Real-World Machine Learning Classification
A sizable amount of research has been done to improve the mechanisms for knowledge extraction such as machine learning classification or regression. Quite unintuitively, the no free lunch (NFL) theorem states that all optimization problem strategies perform equally well when averaged over all possible problems. This fact seems to clash with the effort put forth toward better algorithms. This le...
