Bengio团队新作:强化学习重做符号回归,后验采样提速10倍
TL;DR - Bengio’s team introduces ERRLESS, a Bayesian symbolic regression method that uses maximum-entropy reinforcement learning to sample joint posteriors over formulas, constants, and noise. It improves uncertainty modeling while running roughly 10× faster than most learning-based symbolic regression methods.
- Reframes symbolic regression from finding one optimal expression to approximating a full posterior distribution.
- Uses constrained bottom-up expression generation and a GFlowNet trajectory-balance objective.
- Achieves 0.924 AUC on the Feynman benchmark, remaining stable across three noise levels.
- Avoids separate constant optimization, but requires retraining for each dataset and degrades on complex expressions.
