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.

Kinetic model discovery is a central challenge in chemical engineering, as accurate rate expressions are essential for understanding and controlling chemical and biological processes. Symbolic regression (SR) has emerged as a powerful data-driven approach for identifying interpretable kinetic models, but usually operates without domain knowledge, often exploring physicochemically implausible models.
