Convolutional Kolmogorov--Arnold Networks (KANs) replace the fixed weights of a convolutional kernel with learnable univariate functions. The dominant formulation attaches one such function to every kernel entry and lets it act on pixel values, expressive but parameter-heavy and prone to overfitting.

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.

The paper introduces Mixture of Activations (MoA), a token‑adaptive feedforward network design that mixes multiple activation functions using lightweight gates while sharing linear projections. It also presents learnable activations (LA) as an input‑independent variant. The authors theoretically prove that MoA strictly surpasses both fixed‑activation FFNs and LA in expressive power, and empirically demonstrate that MoA achieves lower loss and better scaling on dense and MoE language models from 0.12 B to 2 B parameters with minimal overhead.
