Application of Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks in high energy physics

Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks represent a recent advancement in machine learning, with the potential to outperform traditional perceptron-based neural networks across various domains as well as provide more interpretability with the use of symbolic formulas and pruning. This study explores the application of KANs to specific tasks in high-energy physics. We evaluate the performance of KANs in distinguishing multijet processes in proton-proton collisions and in reconstructing missing transverse momentum in events involving dark matter.
