RecKAN introduces learnable recursive polynomial basis for enhanced neural networks

Researchers have introduced RecKAN, a novel approach to Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) that enhances their ability to learn complex functions. Unlike previous KAN variants that use fixed bases for their learnable functions, RecKAN defines a recursive polynomial basis whose coefficients are learned alongside the network. This allows RecKAN to adapt its basis to the specific problem, moving beyond the limitations of classical polynomial families. Experiments across various datasets, including image classification and time series forecasting, demonstrate that RecKAN outperforms existing KAN baselines and standard MLP heads, particularly in tasks requiring intricate local structure.

    RecKAN: Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks with a Learnable Recursive Polynomial Basis

    arXiv:2609.01729v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Kolmogorov--Arnold Networks (KANs) replace the fixed scalar weights of a standard network with learnable univariate functions on each edge, but existing variants still fix the \emph{basis} that those functions are built from: B-sp…
