From: Towards data-driven discovery of governing equations in geosciences

Based on phenomena and observed data, scientists summarised and proposed governing equations, the equations are accurate, reliable, transparent to a certain extent and also simple. The pure data-driven models based on artificial intelligence perform higher accuracy while lacking reliability and transparency and are too complex. The new data-driven equation discovery can integrate their merits.
