Can you share more? I've only heard of genetic-based symbolic regression

I believe I wrote the second deterministic algorithm for SR

- FFX (Fast Function eXtraction) was the year before or so.

- PGE (Prioritized Grammar Enumeration) won best paper at GECCO 2013

I go into the problems and causes in my paper: https://github.com/verdverm/go-pge/blob/master/pge_gecco2013...

And took a stab at vibe coding with a tiny LLM to port it to JAX: https://github.com/verdverm/pge-jax I'll put some more effort (tokens) into this and get it added to SRBench.

Fundamentally, most of GP based SR research fights issues with the algorithm (loss of diversity, equation bloat, premature convergence). I have not seen the field really adopt a new mentality in the 13 years since, not that I have been paying close attention, but I do look at the papers in GECCO GP track from time to time.

  • Thank you so much for the resources! These look very interesting.
