Evolutional Math: Cross-Validated Island-Model Genetic Programming for Interpretable Symbolic Regression on Small, Wide Datasets

arXiv:2606. 28381v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Symbolic regression via genetic programming routinely fails on small, wide datasets - a regime common in clinical-trial monitoring, biostatistics, and engineering pilot studies - by converging on bloated, overfit expressions that exploit correlation rather than prediction.

Deliberate Evolution: Agentic Reasoning for Sample-Efficient Symbolic Regression with LLMs

arXiv:2606. 04360v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Symbolic regression (SR) discovers compact mathematical expressions from data, yet recent LLM-based evolutionary methods remain sample-inefficient because they rely mainly on scalar feedback such as MSE.
