Probabilistic Symbolic Regression for Equation Discovery via Operator-induced and Regularized Symbolic Forests

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.

EditSR: Enhancing Neural Symbolic Regression via Edit-based Rectification

arXiv:2606. 07915v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural symbolic regression models improve inference efficiency by shifting structural search to pretraining, but their one-pass autoregressive decoding is prone to error accumulation, which may lead to generating structurally incorrect expressions, especially in complex expression generation scenarios.
