LLMs show promise as post-hoc auditors for symbolic regression models

Researchers explored using large language models (LLMs) to audit symbolic regression models for physiological plausibility, particularly in a medical context. While LLMs showed promise in ranking evolved mathematical expressions, their explanations were sometimes physiologically and mathematically questionable. Clinicians found the LLMs' comparative rankings more useful than isolated term interpretations, suggesting LLMs are better suited for expert-supervised auditing rather than autonomous validation. AI

IMPACT LLMs can assist in validating complex scientific models, potentially accelerating discovery in fields like medicine.

    LLMs as Post-hoc Auditors of Physiological Plausibility in Symbolic Regression: A Clinician-Evaluated Case Study

    arXiv:2609.11431v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Genetic Programming and its variants, such as grammatical evolution, are widely used in Symbolic Regression to derive mathematical expressions from multivariate data. In addition to predictive accuracy, models are appreciated for th…
