Modifying standard gradient boosting by replacing the embedded weak learner in favor of a strong(er) one, we present SyRBo: Symbolic-Regression Boosting. Experiments over 98 regression datasets show that by adding a small number of boosting stages – between 2–5 – to a symbolic regressor, statistically significant improvements can often be attained. We note that coding SyRBo on top of any symbolic regressor is straightforward, and the added cost is simply a few more evolutionary rounds. SyRBo is essentially a simple add-on that can be readily added to an extant symbolic regressor, often with beneficial results.
