Yu and colleagues built a domain-specific runtime for agentic symbolic regression, where language models search for interpretable equations that explain observed data.

The authors developed SRHarness around three components: composable scientific actions for analyzing data and candidate equations, persistent state for retaining evaluated hypotheses, and lifecycle management for continuing, branching, restarting, or terminating search trajectories.
