CMP.6:3 - Forces

ForceWhat must be reconciled
Cheap information and useful directionA local signal is accessible but can omit interactions determining the effect of a change.
Large progress and model validityA large step may save iterations or leave the region where its prediction applies.
Feasibility and improvementAn improving unconstrained move can violate the original conditions.
Local and global conclusionsA local stopping test needs additional structure to establish a global optimum.
Iteration count and work per iterationA stronger update may require more information or computation.
Computed and receiving criteriaDecreasing a surrogate or training loss can leave the intended use unchanged or worse.
