用数学函数替代传统权重,让认知图模型能捕捉非单调因果关系。

Non-monotonic causal discovery with Kolmogorov-Arnold Fuzzy Cognitive Maps

  • 用贝塞尔样条函数替代固定权重,实现因果传递的非单调建模。
  • 在三个任务中表现优于传统模型,逼近黑箱模型精度。
  • 适合需要可解释性与复杂因果推理的研究者使用。

模糊认知图(FCM)是一种兼具神经与符号特性的动态系统建模方法,因其可解释性与递归推理能力被广泛应用。然而,标准FCM采用标量权重和单调激活函数,难以建模饱和效应或周期性动态中的非单调因果关系。本文提出柯尔莫哥洛夫-阿诺德模糊认知图(KA-FCM),基于柯尔莫哥洛夫-阿诺德表示定理,将边上的标量权重替换为可学习的单变量贝塞尔样条函数,使非线性直接作用于因果影响阶段。该设计无需增加图密度或引入隐层,即可建模任意非单调因果关系。在非单调推理(耶基斯-多德森定律)、符号回归与混沌时间序列预测三个领域验证,KA-FCM显著优于传统FCM(粒子群优化训练)及媲美多层感知机(MLP),同时保持图结构可解释性,并能从学习边中提取显式数学规律。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Fuzzy Cognitive Maps constitute a neuro-symbolic paradigm for modeling complex dynamic systems, widely adopted for their inherent interpretability and recurrent inference capabilities. However, the standard FCM formulation, characterized by scalar synaptic weights and monotonic activation functions, is fundamentally constrained in modeling non-monotonic causal dependencies, thereby limiting its efficacy in systems governed by saturation effects or periodic dynamics. To overcome this topological restriction, this research proposes the Kolmogorov-Arnold Fuzzy Cognitive Map (KA-FCM), a novel architecture that redefines the causal transmission mechanism. Drawing upon the Kolmogorov-Arnold representation theorem, static scalar weights are replaced with learnable, univariate B-spline functions located on the model edges. This fundamental modification shifts the non-linearity from the nodes' aggregation phase directly to the causal influence phase. This modification allows for the modeling of arbitrary, non-monotonic causal relationships without increasing the graph density or introducing hidden layers. The proposed architecture is validated against both baselines (standard FCM trained with Particle Swarm Optimization) and universal black-box approximators (Multi-Layer Perceptron) across three distinct domains: non-monotonic inference (Yerkes-Dodson law), symbolic regression, and chaotic time-series forecasting. Experimental results demonstrate that KA-FCMs significantly outperform conventional architectures and achieve competitive accuracy relative to MLPs, while preserving graph- based interpretability and enabling the explicit extraction of mathematical laws from the learned edges.
