Kolmogorov-Arnold networks in nuclear binding energy prediction
arXiv:2407.20737 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.111.024316
Abstract
This study explores the application of Kolmogorov-Arnold networks (KANs) in predicting nuclear binding energies, leveraging their ability to decompose complex multiparameter systems into simpler univariate functions. By utilizing data from the Atomic Mass Evaluation (AME2020) and incorporating features such as atomic number, neutron number, and shell effects, KANs achieved a significant lower root mean square error (0.26 MeV), surpassing traditional models. The symbolic regression analysis yielded simplified analytical expressions for binding energies, aligning with classical models like the liquid drop model and the Bethe-Weizsaecker formula. These results highlight KANs' potential in enhancing the interpretability and understanding of nuclear phenomena, paving the way for future applications in nuclear physics and beyond.
