ikant: Interactive Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks Toolkit

A simple C++ implementation and visualization of Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks.

Features

• Implementation of Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KAN)
• Visualization of network structures and training processes
• GUI for editing network parameters and training settings
• Integration with LAPACK for numerical computations
• Integration with Raylib for graphical rendering

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• C++ compiler
• Make
• LAPACK library
• Raylib library

Building the Project

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/huytrinhm/ikant.git
   cd ikant

2. Build the project using Make:

   make

   You may need to modify the Makefile to specify the paths to the LAPACK and Raylib libraries. The files inside this repository lib directory is provided as a reference.

3. Download example checkpoint and data files from the releases and place them into the project directory.

Running the Application

After building the project, you can run the application using:

./main.exe

The checkpoint and data format

You may find the development.ipynb notebook helpful in understanding the format of the checkpoint and data files and how to generate them.
