QML-Morven: A Novel Framework for Learning Qualitative Differential Equation Models using Both Symbolic and Evolutionary Approaches

In this paper, a novel qualitative differential equation model learning (QML) framework named QML-Morven is presented. QML-Morven employs both symbolic and evolutionary approaches as its learning strategies to deal with models of different complexity. Based on this framework, a series of experiments were designed and carried out to: (1) investigate factors that influence the learning precision and minimum data requirement for successful learning; (2) address the scalability issue of QML systems.
