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.

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.

arXiv:2512. 09084v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The Kolmogorov-Arnold representation theorem offers a theoretical alternative to Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs) by placing learnable univariate functions on edges rather than nodes.

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.

arXiv:2606. 27126v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Kolmogorov Arnold networks (KAN) have recently been introduced as a (deep) neural network architecture whose trainable parameters adapt the activation functions, instead of the coefficients of the affine transformations at the core of traditional architectures such as deep multilayer perceptrons (MLPs).
