Popis:	Accurate and explainable artificial-intelligence (AI) models are promising tools for the acceleration of the discovery of new materials, ore new applications for existing materials. Recently, symbolic regression has become an increasingly popular tool for explainable AI because it yields models that are relatively simple analytical descriptions of target properties. Due to its deterministic nature, the sure-independence screening and sparsifying operator (SISSO) method is a particularly promising approach for this application. Here we describe the new advancements of the SISSO algorithm, as implemented into SISSO++, a C++ code with Python bindings. We introduce a new representation of the mathematical expressions found by SISSO. This is a first step towards introducing ``grammar'' rules into the feature creation step. Importantly, by introducing a controlled non-linear optimization to the feature creation step we expand the range of possible descriptors found by the methodology. Finally, we introduce refinements to the solver algorithms for both regression and classification, that drastically increase the reliability and efficiency of SISSO. For all of these improvements to the basic SISSO algorithm, we not only illustrate their potential impact, but also fully detail how they operate both mathematically and computationally.
