A Perspective on Symbolic Machine Learning in Physical Sciences
Machine learning is rapidly making its pathway across all of the natural sciences, including physical sciences. The rate at which ML is impacting non-scientific disciplines is incomparable to that in the physical sciences. This is partly due to the uninterpretable nature of deep neural networks. Symbolic machine learning stands as an equal and complementary partner to numerical machine learning in speeding up scientific discovery in physics. This perspective discusses the main differences between the ML and scientific approaches. It stresses the need to develop and apply symbolic machine learning to physics problems equally, in parallel to numerical machine learning, because of the dual nature of physics research.

Introduction to Symbolic Regression in the Physical Sciences
Symbolic regression (SR) has emerged as a powerful method for uncovering interpretable mathematical relationships from data, offering a novel route to both scientific discovery and efficient empirical modelling. This art…
CIPHER: Scalable Time Series Analysis for Physical Sciences with Application to Solar Wind Phenomena
Labeling or classifying time series is a persistent challenge in the physical sciences, where expert annotations are scarce, costly, and often inconsistent. Yet robust labeling is essential to enable machine learning mod…
Time Series AnalysisA Seq2Seq approach to Symbolic Regression
Deep neural networks have proved to be powerful function approximators. The large hypothesis space they implicitly model allows them to fit very complicated black-box functions to the training data. However, often the da…
