arXiv:2606.06861v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Understanding nonlinear feature interactions is crucial in science and engineering, yet standard multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) often capture such interactions only implicitly, leading to entangled representations that can impair robustness and interpretability. We investigate product-unit residual networks (PURe) that integrate multiplicative product units with residual connections to explicitly model cross-feature couplings while stabilizing optimization. We conduct a systematic evaluation on an interaction-driven synthetic benchmark and two rea
