SharpNet enhances MLPs to represent functions with controlled non-differentiability

Researchers have developed SharpNet, a novel Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) architecture designed to accurately represent functions with sharp, non-differentiable features. This is achieved by integrating an auxiliary feature function derived from Poisson's equation, which allows for precise control over the location of discontinuities. SharpNet enables joint optimization of feature locations and network parameters, outperforming existing methods in tasks like 2D problem-solving and 3D CAD reconstruction by preserving sharp edges and corners without blurring them.

    SharpNet: Enhancing MLPs to Represent Functions with Controlled Non-differentiability

    arXiv:2601.19683v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) are a standard tool for learning and function approximation, but they inherently produce globally smooth outputs. Consequently, they struggle to represent functions that are continuous yet intentio…
