Machine learning systems

LAGRAMGE 2.0 Successor of LAGRAMGE. Incorporates methods for incorporating process-based domain-specific knowledge in the process of equation discovery. Allows also revision of existing models. Based on using context-free grammars with context-dependent constraints.
PADLES Successor of LAGRAMGE capable of discovering partial differential equations.
LAGRAMGE Successor of LAGRANGE. Incorporates methods for using theoretical knowledge from the modeled domain in the process of equation discovery. User can prescribe the form of the discovered equations with context-free grammars.
LAGRANGE An equation discovery system capable of discovering differential as well as ordinary algebraic equations from measured/simulated data.
