Multi layered Kolmogorov-Arnold network
Original Kolmogorov-Arnold representation (KAR) $$ M(x_1, x_2, x_3, ... , x_n) = \sum_{q=0}^{2n} \Phi_q\left(\sum_{p=1}^{n} \phi_{q,p}(x_{p})\right) $$ can be graphically depicted by the following hierarchical chart  where each block is individual Urysohn operator $$ u_q = \sum_{p=1}^{n} \phi_{q,p}(x_{p}). $$ Kolmogorov-Arnold network (KAN) has a different structure. It has more than two layers and each Urysohn from lower level is connected to each Urysohn object of the next one.  To avoid confusion we will use slightly different abbreviations KAN and KAR. KAR is very powerful model with the high descriptive power, but unfortunately it has some limitations. It can be seen on very simple example: the modeling of Area of rectangle by the coordinates of vertices  The code referenced on the top of this page runs several tests. One of them is classic KAR, which gives relative error near 4% and another one is multi layered KAN, which gives relative error for validation set near 1%.  The training set is 10,000 records, validation set is 2,000 records. We can recommend this dataset as a good challenge or benchmark for testing other AI models. |
