Evolutional Math: Cross-Validated Island-Model Genetic Programming for Interpretable Symbolic Regression on Small, Wide Datasets

arXiv:2606. 28381v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Symbolic regression via genetic programming routinely fails on small, wide datasets - a regime common in clinical-trial monitoring, biostatistics, and engineering pilot studies - by converging on bloated, overfit expressions that exploit correlation rather than prediction.

Efficient Constant Optimization for Symbolic Regression with GPU-Accelerated Tree-Based Genetic Programming

The paper introduces a GPU-resident, batched Levenberg–Marquardt solver that efficiently optimizes constants in tree-based genetic programming for symbolic regression. By using reverse-mode automatic differentiation to assemble per-tree Jacobians in a single backward sweep, the solver’s per-iteration cost becomes independent of the number of constants per tree, achieving up to 510,000 trees per second on an NVIDIA A100. Integrated into EvoGP, the solver enables end-to-end search that recovers governing equations on 10 of 18 constructed problems, a significant improvement over stock EvoGP.
