Neural Symbolic Regression (NSR) uses neural networks as functional preconditioners to learn smooth, noise‑robust approximations of target functions in an interaction‑aware nonlinear feature space. A subsequent LASSO step extracts sparse, interpretable closed‑form expressions, while distributed hyperparameter optimization with Ray Tune and ASHA scheduling improves predictive accuracy and symbolic fidelity. Experiments on the Nguyen benchmark demonstrate that NSR outperforms SINDy and untuned neural baselines in RMSE, noise robustness, and out‑of‑distribution generalization, with ablation studies highlighting the importance of feature interactions, neural depth, and tuning strategies.

InsightSR is a new framework that integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) with the PySR genetic programming engine to refine symbolic regression search spaces. It employs two LLM-guided pathways: a Semantic Seed Pathway that generates dimensionally consistent functional skeletons, and a Structural Feature Pathway that suggests nonlinear feature transformations. Over successive iterations, these pathways expand the input space and shift the search toward shallow, semantically informed trees, with a feedback loop that evaluates and refines candidate features. The method achieves a 95% exact recovery rate on the Feynman benchmark and 80.18% accuracy on the LLM-SRBench LSR-Transform task, outperforming existing genetic programming and neural-symbolic approaches while preserving strong out-of-distribution generalization.

MOSAIC‑SR is a new symbolic regression method that combines a pretrained Transformer with search‑based refinement. The Transformer generates multiple initial sketches, which seed searches that jointly recover equation structure and constants using scale‑aware optimization and symbolic repair. On the SRSD‑Feynman dataset and six other benchmarks, MOSAIC‑SR achieves the highest symbolic solution rate and ranks among the top two in predictive accuracy, even when irrelevant dummy variables are present.
