Kolmogorov-Arnold Fourier Networks

arXiv:2502.06018v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Although Kolmogorov-Arnold-based interpretable networks (KANs) possess strong theoretical expressiveness, they suffer from severe parameter explosion and limited ability to capture high-frequency features in high-dimensional tasks. To address these issues, we propose the Kolmogorov-Arnold Fourier Network (KAF), which fundamentally redefines the KAN paradigm through spectral reparameterization. Our key contributions include: (1) proposing a fundamental basis transformation from the local, grid-based B-spline representation to a global, adaptiv
