This transparency is crucial in clinical medicine and social science, but SR faces three challenges: high-dimensional inputs, principled selection of Pareto-front formulae, and data irregularities such as multicollinearity and class imbalance. We introduce DeepPySR, which addresses these issues with a dynamic variable-pruning schedule to remove irrelevant features during search, an exponential Pareto selection criterion that eliminates tradeoffs between accuracy and complexity, and a multi-layer architecture for hierarchical symbolic composition. On four Feynman physics benchmarks and seven biomedical and social-science datasets, DeepPySR outperforms PySR and baselines on body fat (R2 : 0 .794 vs. 0.702), heart disease (F1: 0 .898 vs. 0.787), student performance (R2 : 0 .964 vs. 0.948), and Raine BMI (R2 :  \n0.525 vs. 0.370), producing interpretable formulas aligned with domain risk factors.  \n1 Main  \nThe tension between predictive accuracy and interpretability is a central problem in applied machine learning. In scientific disciplines, from biomedicine to astrophysics, understanding why a model makes a prediction is often as important as the prediction itself. This need is especially acute in high-stakes domains such as clinical medicine, public health, and social science, where model decisions directly affect individuals and must be auditable, legally defensible, and comprehensible to domain experts who are not machine-learning practitioners [1] . A cardiologist does not need just a risk score but the mechanistic factors driving it; an epidemiologist studying childhood BMI trajectories needs an equation that can be communicated and acted on; an astronomer needs more than a candidate ranking but the physical process that caused the ranking.  \nThe prevailing response has been to train high-accuracy black-box models and apply post-hoc explanation tools such as SHAP [2] or LIME [3] to approximate local feature attributions. This strategy has well-documented shortcomings: post-hoc explanations are approximations of a separate model, are unstable under small perturbations [4], and can be manipulated [5] . No amount of attribution substitutes for knowing the actual function the model computes [1] .  \nSymbolic regression (SR) offers a different paradigm: it directly searches for an analytical, human-readable mathematical expression that fits the data [6, 7] . The field has seen renewed interest following the release of PySR [7] and the Feynman SR benchmark [8] . Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KAN) [9] have been proposed as a gradient-based interpretable alternative, but KAN requires a pre-specified architecture and pre-selected features [10], making it impractical when the relevant feature set is unknown.  \nReal-world biomedical datasets impose additional difficulties. Intraclass correlation (ICC) is ubiquitous: weight, waist circumference, and BMI z-scores are near-collinear, and standard SR collapses onto correlated variables without improving generalisation.
