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.
SymboLLM-FE combines symbolic regression and large language models to automate feature engineering for tabular data. It first extracts mathematically expressive formulas that correlate strongly with the target, then refines them with LLMs to improve interpretability. Experiments on six real‑world datasets and four Kaggle competitions show that SymboLLM‑FE outperforms existing AutoFE methods while reducing the number of costly LLM calls.

Boosting is one of the most successful learning techniques for standard classification and regression tasks. Its extension to multi-output prediction problems has found an increasing number of applications in recent years.
arXiv:2606. 30995v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent work has shown that well-optimized individual decision trees can match complex black box models in some settings, primarily in noisy domains.
arXiv:2503. 12902v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Model trees provide an appealing way to perform interpretable machine learning for both classification and regression problems.

arXiv:2608. 04310v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Rashomon effect describes the phenomenon that many models can achieve nearly equivalent performance on the same learning task, with significant ramifications for robustness, feature importance, and customizability.
Inherently interpretable classifiers for tabular data typically rely on sparse features, rules, or patterns that users can inspect directly. The marginal feature-screening step common to these methods can discard variables whose predictive value emerges only through joint configurations with other variables.
