Neural network approximation theory survey covers KANs

A new survey paper delves into the mathematical underpinnings of neural network expressivity, focusing on universal approximation theorems. It explores how these theorems explain the power of neural networks and details the evolution of quantitative theories that address approximation rates and parameter efficiency. The paper also highlights the benefits of deeper architectures and introduces recent advancements in Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) as an alternative paradigm. AI
