Neural Symbollic Regression Using Deep Learning and Sparse Modelling

Neural Symbolic Regression (NSR) uses neural networks as functional preconditioners to learn smooth, noise‑robust approximations of target functions in an interaction‑aware nonlinear feature space. A subsequent LASSO step extracts sparse, interpretable closed‑form expressions, while distributed hyperparameter optimization with Ray Tune and ASHA scheduling improves predictive accuracy and symbolic fidelity. Experiments on the Nguyen benchmark demonstrate that NSR outperforms SINDy and untuned neural baselines in RMSE, noise robustness, and out‑of‑distribution generalization, with ablation studies highlighting the importance of feature interactions, neural depth, and tuning strategies.

MOSAIC-SR: Transformer-Guided Symbolic Regression for Scientific Equation Recovery

MOSAIC‑SR is a new symbolic regression method that combines a pretrained Transformer with search‑based refinement. The Transformer generates multiple initial sketches, which seed searches that jointly recover equation structure and constants using scale‑aware optimization and symbolic repair. On the SRSD‑Feynman dataset and six other benchmarks, MOSAIC‑SR achieves the highest symbolic solution rate and ranks among the top two in predictive accuracy, even when irrelevant dummy variables are present.

An expressivity analysis of hierarchical modelling in deep transformers via bounded-depth grammars

arXiv:2606. 17522v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep neural networks are widely believed to derive their expressive power from their ability to form \textbf{hierarchical representations}, capturing progressively more abstract and compositional features across layers.

An expressivity analysis of hierarchical modelling in deep transformers via bounded-depth grammars

Deep neural networks are widely believed to derive their expressive power from their ability to form \textbf{hierarchical representations}, capturing progressively more abstract and compositional features across layers. In language modeling, \textbf{transformers} have emerged as the dominant architecture, with early layers capturing local syntactic patterns and later layers encoding more complex clause-level dependencies.
