abstract = "Data-driven modelling plays an increasingly important
role in different areas of engineering. For most of
existing methods, such as genetic programming (GP), the
convergence speed might be too slow for large scale
problems with a large number of variables. Fortunately,
in many applications, the target models are separable
in some sense. In this paper, we analyse different
types of separability and establish a generalised
separable model (GSM). In order to get the structure of
the GSM, a multi-level block search method is proposed,
in which the target model is decomposed into a number
of blocks, further into minimal blocks and factors.
Compare to the conventional GP, the new method can make
large reductions to the search space. The minimal
blocks and factors are optimised and assembled with a
global optimisation search engine, low dimensional
simplex evolution (LDSE). An extensive study between
the proposed method and a state-of-the-art data-driven
fitting tool, Eureqa, has been presented with several
man-made problems. Test results indicate that the
proposed method is more effective and efficient under
all the investigated cases.",
