Researchers have developed a symbolic regression method, pySR, to approximate neutron-star radii using only gravitational-wave measurements. This approach aims to enhance multi-messenger astronomy studies by enabling comparisons between gravitational-wave data and electromagnetic observations. The method was trained on TOV solutions and tested against various equations of state, showing consistent agreement with ground truth values and achieving average radius differences of a few hundred meters. When applied to the GW170817 event, the approximation produced radius distributions comparable to previously inferred ones. AI
