Kolmogorov--Arnold Networks for Small Language Models

arXiv:2607. 15525v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Kolmogorov--Arnold Networks (KANs) replace fixed node activations with learned one-dimensional edge functions, offering an explicit interface for interpretation and a possible alternative to transformer feed-forward networks.

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.

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.

Is the Statistical Advantage Worth the Cost? An Empirical Comparison of KANs and MLPs for Structured Data Classification

arXiv:2607. 13413v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This study presents an empirical benchmarking comparison between Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) and Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs) on structured tabular classification tasks.

The Sparsity Whisperer

arXiv:2608. 06630v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pruning reduces the inference cost of large language models, but existing criteria primarily preserve large activations or reconstruct layer outputs.
