Hypothesize, Evaluate, Refine: A Scientific Agent for PDE Discovery with Unknown Spatial Coefficient Fields

The paper introduces HER-PDE, a scientific-agent framework that simultaneously discovers partial differential equation (PDE) structures and their unknown spatial coefficient fields. Using two noisy trajectories from different excitations, the agent generates expression-tree hypotheses, evaluates them via a Hypothesis Evaluation Interface that only estimates declared fields, and refines candidates through bidirectional cross-excitation transfer. In controlled experiments on five two-dimensional systems with Gaussian noise, HER-PDE accurately recovers the governing operators and attains a median Pearson correlation of ~0.85 and a median relative L2 error of ~0.28 for nine unknown coefficient fields.

An Interpretable Approach to PDE Solution Discovery via Structural Experience Distillation

The paper introduces SED-MCTS, a Monte Carlo tree search method that enhances PDE solution discovery by distilling structural experience from evaluated expressions. Unlike previous approaches that rely on a single terminal score, SED-MCTS uses counterfactual subtree interventions to estimate local structural contributions, guiding the search toward reliable construction edges and preserving useful components in a structural archive. The method extends naturally to coupled multiphysics systems and demonstrates improved performance, efficiency, and robustness across diverse PDE benchmarks, especially under noisy or scarce observations.

A-SR: Self-Evolving Agentic LLMs for Symbolic Regression via Hierarchical Coordination

arXiv:2608. 04872v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Symbolic regression aims to discover closed-form equations from data, but existing LLM-guided methods often rely on a unified proposal loop that compresses heterogeneous search failures into a scalar score and a single prompt.

A-SR: Self-Evolving Agentic LLMs for Symbolic Regression via Hierarchical Coordination

Symbolic regression aims to discover closed-form equations from data, but existing LLM-guided methods often rely on a unified proposal loop that compresses heterogeneous search failures into a scalar score and a single prompt. We propose A-SR, a self-evolving agentic framework that shifts the control unit from expression edits to role-conditioned evidence views.

MOSAIC: Module Discovery via Sparse Additive Identifiable Causal Learning for Scientific Time Series

MOSAIC is a sparse temporal variational autoencoder that merges causal representation learning with support recovery to identify interpretable latent modules in scientific time series. It leverages regime‑conditioned temporal variation to discover latent variables and uses an additive decoder to recover a sparse set of observations linked to each latent, providing module‑level interpretability. The method offers theoretical guarantees for ANOVA main‑effect identifiability under smooth mixing functions and demonstrates empirical success across diverse domains such as RNA dynamics, solar wind, ENSO climate, industrial process control, and synthetic tokamak data.
