SymbolicRegression.jl is a state-of-the-art symbolic regression library written from scratch in Julia using a custom evolutionary algorithm. The software emphasizes high-performance distributed computing, and can find arbitrary symbolic expressions to optimize a user-defined objective – thus offering a very interpretable type of machine learning. SymbolicRegression.jl and its Python frontend PySR have been used for model discovery in over 30 research papers, from astrophysics to economics.
