SKANODE is a framework that integrates structured state-space modeling with the Kolmogorov-Arnold Network (KAN) to model complex nonlinear dynamical systems. Within the Neural ODE architecture, SKANODE utilizes a fully trainable KAN to perform virtual detection and recover latent states corresponding to interpretable physical quantities such as displacement and velocity. Leveraging the symbolic regression capabilities of the KAN, it extracts concise and interpretable expressions for the dominant dynamics of the system.
