What is TuringBot?
TuringBot is an AI-powered software that automatically discovers mathematical equations in data using symbolic regression. Unlike black-box machine learning models, it generates interpretable formulas that describe relationships between variables, making predictions transparent and explainable. The tool supports various base functions including arithmetic, trigonometric, exponential, logical, and other operations, optimizing both the formula structure and numerical constants.
The software accepts TXT or CSV files with multiple columns and can be used interactively through a graphical interface or via command-line automation. It includes a Python library for integration into workflows and offers multiple search metrics for different modeling goals, from regression to classification tasks. TuringBot is designed for high performance with optimized C++ code and requires minimal setup, making it accessible for researchers, engineers, and data scientists.
