  • <p>The source code for the manuscript: AI-Aristotle: A Physics-Informed framework for Systems Biology Gray-Box Identification</p> <p>Discovering mathematical equations that govern physical and biological systems from observed data is a fundamental challenge in scientific research. We present a new physics-informed framework for parameter estimation and missing physics identification (gray-box) in the field of Systems Biology. The proposed framework -- named AI-Aristotle -- combines eXtreme Theory of Functional Connections (X-TFC) domain-decomposition and Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) with symbolic regression (SR) techniques for parameter discovery and gray-box identification. We test the accuracy, speed, flexibility and robustness of AI-Aristotle based on two benchmark problems in Systems Biology: a pharmacokinetics drug absorption model, and an ultradian endocrine model for glucose-insulin interactions. We compare the two machine learning methods (X-TFC and PINNs), and moreover, we employ two different symbolic regression techniques to cross-verify our results. While the current work focuses on the performance of AI-Aristotle based on synthetic data, it can equally handle noisy experimental data and can even be used for black-box identification in just a few minutes on a laptop. More broadly, our work provides insights into the accuracy, cost, scalability, and robustness of integrating neural networks with symbolic regressors, offering a comprehensive guide for researchers tackling gray-box identification challenges in complex dynamical systems in biomedicine and beyond.</p>
