Title: Learning Dynamical Systems with Symbolic Regression
Author: Alberto Tonda (INRA)

Abstract

Dynamical Systems, composed of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE), are widely adopted in many fields of science and engineering, to describe phenomena ranging from fluid dynamics to diffusion of heat, from mechanical to biological processes. ODE-based models are usually built by human experts, exploiting both experimental data and theoretical knowledge of the problem at hand.

In this work, we show how to use an established machine learning technique, Symbolic Regression, to automatically derive systems of ODEs starting from data. Preliminary experimental results on the Lotka-Volterra model prove the potential of the approach.
