SRBench: Symbolic Regression Benchmarks

The methods for symbolic regression (SR) have come a long way since the days of Koza-style genetic programming (GP). Our goal with this project is create a living benchmark of modern symbolic regression methods, in the context of state-of-the-art ML methods, and with a view towards high-impact applications in the health sciences.
