    Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks: How Learnable Edge Splines Challenge the Multi-Layer Perceptron For over three decades, the foundational building block of deep neural networks has remained essentially unchanged: the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP). In standard transformer feed-forward blocks, convolutional networks, and deep classifiers, MLPs alternate linear matrix multiplications ($\mathbf{W}\mathbf{x}$) with fixed, point-wise non-linear activation functions (such as ReLU, GELU, or SwiGLU).
