Nice, but just like Google Predict you are trying to violate the "no free lunch" theorem.


Luckily, our universe has exploitable structure. The No Free lunch theorem is as much a headache to Searching as the Halting problem is to programming - not really one.


Problems like classification come from a very tiny corner of the "all possible objective functions", so NFL doesn't really apply.


Curious about that. How so?
