Abstract

Symbolic Regression (SR) is emerging as a promising machine learning tool to directly learn succinct, mathematical and interpretable expressions directly from data. The combination of SR with deep learning (e.g. Graph Neural Network and Autoencoders) provides a powerful toolkit for scientists to push the frontiers of scientific discovery in a data-driven manner. We briefly overview SR, autoencoders and GNN and highlight examples where they have been used to rediscover known physical phenomenon directly from data.
