Kolmogorov--Arnold against bounded translations

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper revisits the Kolmogorov–Arnold representation theorem (KART), which has gained renewed interest through its use in neural networks such as Kolmogorov–Arnold Networks (KANs). It addresses the open question of KART’s stability when the hidden layer is subjected to continuous adversarial perturbations, specifically bounded translations. The authors present a constructive proof of an approximate representation that uses fixed, piecewise‑linear inner functions and a single outer function that remains invariant across all summands, provided the maximum translation bound is known in advance.

A Unified and Constrained View of Regularization-Based Robust Reinforcement Learning

The paper presents a unified framework for regularization-based robust reinforcement learning by deriving upper bounds on the performance gap between nominal and worst-case policies. These bounds are expressed as a regularization objective plus a KL-divergence penalty, explaining why KL penalties enhance robustness. The authors reformulate robust training as a constrained optimization problem, updating the Lagrange multiplier jointly with the policy to automatically tune regularization, and validate the approach with extensive adversarial evaluations on continuous control tasks.
