Automatic Ordinary Differential Equations Discovery For Biological Systems Using Large Language Model Powered Agentic System

Automatic scientific discovery has long been a goal of computational scholars - a machine that can discover nature's secrets on its own, moving computational systems beyond data-fitting tools toward the generation and refinement of mechanistic models of the universe. Recent advances in symbolic regression (SR) and large-language-model (LLM)-based agents suggest that such systems can recover equations from data, incorporate domain priors, and automate parts of the research workflow.

Can AI Follow In Einstein's Footsteps?

AI is accelerating physics discovery, but perhaps away from Einstein-level theory building. To understand this gap, we must recognize a striking trend: while being very successful, the most visible AI contributions to physics discovery appear to mirror the historical development of physics, but in reverse.
