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.

MOSAIC-SR: Transformer-Guided Symbolic Regression for Scientific Equation Recovery

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.
