混合KAN与MLP,提升可穿戴设备动作识别精度与鲁棒性

KAN-MLP-Mixer: A comprehensive investigation of the usage of Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) for improving IMU-based Human Activity Recognition

  • 用KAN做输入嵌入,MLP处理中间特征,专设LarctanKAN分类
  • 在8个数据集上平均F1提升5.33%,优于纯MLP或纯KAN模型
  • 适合需要高精度且抗噪声的实时可穿戴动作识别场景

Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) 在干净、低维数据上表现出卓越的函数拟合能力,但在噪声多、不完美的真实世界数据上性能下降。相比之下,传统多层感知机(MLPs)对噪声更鲁棒且计算效率更高。将深度动作识别(HAR)模型中的所有MLP替换为KAN常导致准确率和效率下降,凸显一个开放挑战:如何结合KAN的高精度与MLP的抗噪性及高效性。为此,我们系统研究了KAN模块在深度HAR网络中的多种部署方式,提出一种混合架构:使用KAN进行输入嵌入,保留MLP处理中间特征,并引入专用的LarctanKAN模块用于最终分类。在八个公开的HAR数据集上,该混合模型相比纯MLP模型平均宏观F1分数提升5.33%,显著优于独立的KAN和MLP基线。此外,将此策略集成到其他先进HAR架构中也持续提升了性能。结果表明,精心设计的KAN、MLP或其他传统神经组件组合,能构建出更鲁棒、更准确的实时可穿戴传感环境下的动作识别模型。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) have demonstrated an exceptional ability to learn complex functions on clean, low-dimensional data but struggle to maintain performance on noisy and imperfect real-world datasets. In contrast, conventional multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) are far more tolerant to noise and computationally efficient. Replacing all MLP components with KANs in HAR models often degrades accuracy and computation efficiency, highlighting an open challenge: how to combine KANs' precision with MLPs' noise robustness and efficiency. To address this, we systematically explore various placements of KAN modules within deep HAR networks and propose a hybrid architecture that strategically synergizes the strengths of both paradigms, which uses a KAN-based input embedding layer, retains MLP layers for intermediate feature mixing, and introduces a specialized LarctanKAN module for final activity classification. Across eight public HAR datasets, the hybrid KAN-MLP model achieves an average macro F1 score relative improvement of 5.33\% compared pure-MLP model, significantly outperforming standalone KAN and MLP baselines. Furthermore, integrating this hybrid strategy into other state-of-the-art HAR architectures consistently boosts their performance. Our findings demonstrate that a carefully orchestrated combination of KAN, MLP, or other conventional neural components yields more robust and accurate HAR models for real-world wearable sensing environments.
