No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Large language models (LLMs) can help discover mathematical equations from data, but most LLM-guided symbolic regression methods focus on a single best equation without quantifying uncertainty over alternative functional forms. This is challenging because distinct equations can fit the observed data similarly while producing substantially different extrapolations. Our experiments on the LLM-SRBench dataset show that standard conformal intervals achieve nominal in-distribution coverage but frequently fail under extrapolation. To tackle this challenge, we introduce LLM-SR-UQ, a framework that retains competing equation structures and uses their disagreement to characterize uncertainty about the underlying functional form. We extend the standard fixed-width conformal approach to quantify structural intervals, which measure disagreement among candidate equations and identify where prediction intervals should widen. Extensive experiments show our framework substantially improves coverage attainment by incorporating structural disagreement while preserving in-distribution coverage. Our approach also shows good generalizability when it is applied to other symbolic-regression methods.
