When Good Equations Get Bad Scores: Improving Symbolic Regression Through Better Parameter Optimization
The paper discusses the challenges in Symbolic Regression (SR) due to the 'Good Structure, Bad Score' phenomenon. It introduces SAGE-Fit, a new framework designed to improve parameter optimization in SR by leveraging structural and semantic priors. The proposed method shows significant enhancements in evaluation fidelity and overall performance across various SR systems.
- ▪Symbolic Regression is crucial for deriving mathematical equations from data.
- ▪Existing methods struggle with non-convex optimization, leading to poor results.
- ▪SAGE-Fit addresses these issues by using tailored modules for better parameter fitting.
