Introducing the DREAMS Project: DaRk mattEr and Astrophysics with Machine learning and Simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Jonah C. Rose, Paul Torrey, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Mariangela Lisanti, Tri Nguyen | Summary: We introduce the DREAMS project, an innovative approach to understanding the astrophysical implications of alternative dark matter models and their effects on galaxy formation and evolution. The DREAMS project will ultimately comprise thousands of […]

KAN: Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Ziming Liu, Yixuan Wang, Sachin Vaidya, Fabian Ruehle, James Halverson | Summary: Inspired by the Kolmogorov-Arnold representation theorem, we propose Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) as promising alternatives to Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs). While MLPs have fixed activation functions on nodes ("neurons"), KANs have learnable activation functions on edges ("weights"). […]
