The SMILE framework achieves the highest symbol resolution in the SRBench benchmark by combining continuous gradient optimization with discrete symbol recovery techniques. The framework consists of three stages: first, analyzing the data to identify the hierarchical structure of the target expressions; second, using interpretable activation functions to continuously optimize the network parameters of the encoded target expressions; finally, pruning the network into compact expressions containing precise symbolic constants through structured pruning, coefficient optimization, and rounding. Experiments show that SMILE exhibits strong robustness under maximum noise levels and always lies on the Pareto frontier between accuracy and complexity, capable of recovering significantly simpler expressions in less time than competing methods.
