Why is it important?
The application of symbolic regression to real-world and scientific problems is crucial to test the credibility of SR as a scientific discovery tool and emphasize its limitations.
Perspectives
Symbolic regression is an old topic that dates back to the 16th century and was used by J.Kepler in the discovery of its third law. Folowing the big data revolution, SR's approaches have significantly evolved and uses state-of-the-art machine learning techniques such as transformers and LLMs.
