KAPLAN: Kolmogorov-Arnold Prognostic Learnable Activation Networks for Survival Analysis
Researchers have developed KAPLAN-HR, a new deep learning model based on Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) for survival analysis. This model can estimate conditional hazard rates as a joint function of covariates and time, overcoming limitations of traditional methods that require manual specification of complex effects. Evaluations on six clinical datasets show KAPLAN-HR performs comparably to or better than existing statistical and deep learning survival analysis techniques. AI
