The paper presents a probabilistic symbolic regression framework that models mathematical expressions as ensembles of symbolic trees, using a regularizing prior to control complexity and an Occam’s window-based posterior to capture uncertainty across plausible models. It provides theoretical guarantees on posterior concentration, including near‑parametric rates when an exact finite formula exists and oracle results under misspecification. Empirical results show the method outperforms state‑of‑the‑art competitors in predictive accuracy, symbolic complexity, and structural recovery on benchmark scientific equations and a materials discovery task.

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.
SMILE (Sine, Multiplication, Identity, Logarithm, Exponential) is a hybrid framework that merges continuous gradient-based optimization with discrete symbolic recovery for symbolic regression. It operates in three stages: structural analysis to uncover the compositional hierarchy of the target expression, continuous optimization to learn parameters of a network using interpretable activations, and symbolic recovery via structured pruning, coefficient optimization, and rounding to produce a compact expression with exact symbolic constants. Evaluated on SRBench, SMILE achieves the highest symbolic solution rate under high noise, remains on the Pareto front of accuracy versus complexity, and recovers simpler expressions much faster than competing methods.
