An Embedded RISC-V Evaluation of Kolmogorov--Arnold Networks in Hard-Constrained Recurrent Physics-Informed Models

arXiv:2608. 00737v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hard-constrained recurrent physics-informed networks (HRPINNs) embed known dynamics inside a recurrent numerical integrator and restrict a neural branch to learning only the residual dynamics that the first-principles model does not capture.

Agile Reinforcement Learning through Separable Neural Architecture and Applications

arXiv:2601. 23225v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep reinforcement learning (RL) is increasingly deployed in resource-constrained environments, yet go-to function approximators - multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) - are often parameter-inefficient due to an imperfect inductive bias for the smooth structure of many value functions.

Neural scaling laws and evolution of learnable activation functions of Kolmogorov-Arnold networks

The paper studies Kolmogorov‑Arnold Networks (KANs), a neural architecture that treats activation functions as learnable components, offering improved interpretability for scientific applications. It investigates how KANs scale with dataset size on image classification tasks (MNIST, Fashion‑MNIST) and a magnetic‑parameter regression task, revealing a broken neural scaling law that transitions from a faster to a slower decay of test loss as data grows. The authors also analyze how the learned activation functions evolve from simple linear approximations to more complex, interpretable symbolic forms as more data is provided.

Monotonic Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks: A Theoretical and Empirical Study of Monotonicity as an Inductive Bias

Monotonicity has been a long-running architectural inductive bias for neural networks, motivated by tabular, scientific, and economic settings where outputs are known to respond monotonically to certain inputs. Existing approaches are MLP- or flow-based and lack per-edge functional transparency; the only Kolmogorov--Arnold Network (KAN) variant with monotonicity, MonoKAN, enforces the constraint only on a restricted parameter subset and requires a projection-style training procedure.
