“The no free lunch theorem calls for prudency when solving ML problems by requiring that you test multiple algorithms and solutions with a clear mind and without prejudice.” In a paper titled, ‘The Lack of A Priori Distinctions Between Learning Algorithms’, that dates back to 1996, David Wolpert explored the following questions: Can we actually…

No Free Lunch Theorems (NFLTs): Two well-known theorems bearing the same name: One for supervised machine learning (Wolpert 1996) and one for search/optimization (Wolpert and Macready 1997). The thing that they share in common is that they state that certain classes of algorithms have no “best” algorithm because on average, they’ll all perform about the…
