InceptionSR is a symbolic-regression method that freezes promising partial equations and reuses them as features in later search rounds. It is tested on planetary-system instability and a triangle-area formula.
This NeurIPS 2024 paper introduces LaSR, a symbolic-regression method in which a large language model finds reusable concepts in strong candidate equations. On the Feynman benchmark it recovered more target equations than the methods it was compared with.
A 2026 preprint tests whether large language models can help clinicians compare symbolic-regression equations for body-fat estimation. A panel of clinicians rated the outputs.
