EditSR: Enhancing Neural Symbolic Regression via Edit-based Rectification

arXiv:2606.07915v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural symbolic regression models improve inference efficiency by shifting structural search to pretraining, but their one-pass autoregressive decoding is prone to error accumulation, which may lead to generating structurally incorrect expressions, especially in complex expression generation scenarios. Existing rectification strategies can alleviate this issue, but they often depend on restarting global search, thereby weakening the efficiency advantage of neural models, and remain susceptible to error accumulation. In this paper, we propose Edit

Why this matters
Why now

The continuous drive for more efficient and accurate AI models, especially in complex symbolic regression tasks, necessitates novel approaches to address error accumulation in autoregressive decoding.

Why it’s important

Improving the efficiency and accuracy of neural symbolic regression can accelerate scientific discovery and enhance agentic AI systems by providing more robust methods for deriving mathematical expressions and causal relationships.

What changes

This paper proposes a method to rectify errors in neural symbolic regression without fully restarting global search, potentially making these models more practically usable and efficient for complex problem-solving.
