KANs gain temporal explanations with new Temporal Functional Circuits

Researchers have developed a new framework called Temporal Functional Circuits to enhance the interpretability of Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) in time-series forecasting. This method transforms the KAN's internal edge functions into understandable, temporally relevant explanations. By using a gated residual KAN architecture, the framework maps edges to input lags, ranks their importance, and validates their contribution through interventions, demonstrating that the learned spline shapes offer predictive value beyond simpler activation functions.

    Temporal Functional Circuits: From Spline Plots to Faithful Explanations in KAN Forecasting

    Unlike MLPs, Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) expose explicit learnable edge functions on every connection, enabling mechanistic explanation in time-series forecasting. This paper introduces Temporal Functional Circuits, a framework that transforms KAN edge functions from latent…
