• Abstract: We introduce a novel symbolic regression framework, namely KAN-SR, built on Kolmogorov Arnold Networks (KANs) which follows a divide-and-conquer approach. Symbolic regression searches for mathematical equations that best fit a given dataset and is commonly solved with genetic programming approaches. We show that by using deep learning techniques, more specific KANs, and combining them with simplification strategies such as translational symmetries and separabilities, we are able to recover ground-truth equations of the Feynman Symbolic Regression for Scientific Discovery (SRSD) dataset. Additionally, we show that by combining the proposed framework with neural controlled differential equations, we are able to model the dynamics of an in-silico bioprocess system precisely, opening the door for the dynamic modeling of other engineering systems.

  Invertible Symbolic Regression is a machine learning technique that generates analytical relationships between inputs and outputs of a given dataset via invertible maps. We transform the affine coupling blocks of INNs into a symbolic framework, resulting in an end-to-end differentiable symbolic invertible architecture. We show that ISR can serve as a (symbolic) normalizing flow for density estimation tasks.

• Discrete, compositional, and symbolic representations through attractor dynamics [51.20712945239422]
  We introduce a novel neural systems model that integrates attractor dynamics with symbolic representations to model cognitive processes akin to the probabilistic language of thought (PLoT) Our model segments the continuous representational space into discrete basins, with attractor states corresponding to symbolic sequences, that reflect the semanticity and compositionality characteristic of symbolic systems through unsupervised learning, rather than relying on pre-defined primitives. This approach establishes a unified framework that integrates both symbolic and sub-symbolic processing through neural dynamics, a neuroplausible substrate with proven expressivity in AI, offering a more comprehensive model that mirrors the complex duality of cognitive operations
