2. **[Symbolic Regression is NP-hard](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/virgolin-2022-symbolic-regression-np-hard/)** *(2022 · 35 citations)* Symbolic regression (SR) looks for a model of data written as a mathematical formula. The formula is built by composing elements of a primitive set, such as operations, variables and constants. Researchers have long assumed that the task is intractable. Existing methods are either heuristics without optimality…
