Influence-Guided Symbolic Regression: Scientific Discovery via LLM-Driven Equation Search with Granular Feedback
Researchers introduce Influence-Guided Symbolic Regression (IGSR), a novel framework combining LLMs with Monte Carlo Tree Search to discover scientific equations more efficiently. The method uses granular influence scores to evaluate which components of equations contribute to accuracy, enabling systematic refinement. The approach demonstrated genuine discovery potential by identifying a novel relationship between DNA methylation and RNA Polymerase II pausing that was subsequently validated experimentally.
