AutoRA release announcement: A new release of AutoRA (Automated Research Assistant) now features Bayesian Symbolic Regression (Jin et al., 2019) for generating equations that explain empirical data. It also includes several strategies for identifying novel experiments, as well as basic control structures for performing closed-loop empirical research.

First pip release of AutoRA : We have released the first version of AutoRA (Automated Research Assistant). The open-sourced functionality of AutoRA is currently limited to a DARTS theorist (differentiable architecture search), which interfaces with sklearn. We are still reworking and testing the interfaces of other components and hope to release these soon.
