Comparative Analysis of Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks and Traditional Machine Learning Models for Breast Cancer Prognosis
摘要
This study compares the performance of Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KAN) with traditional machine learning models in predicting breast cancer survival. Using the SEER Breast Cancer Dataset, we evaluate KAN against decision trees, random forests, logistic regression, and gradient boosting machines. Our analysis focuses on predictive accuracy and the impact of data augmentation techniques. Results demonstrate that KAN offers competitive performance compared to traditional models, with unique strengths in handling imbalanced datasets. This research contributes to the ongoing exploration of novel machine learning architectures in healthcare applications.
