contents In this paper, we present Convolutional Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks, a novel architecture that integrates the learnable spline-based activation functions of Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) into convolutional layers. By replacing traditional fixed-weight kernels with learnable non-linear functions, Convolutional KANs offer a significant improvement in parameter efficiency and expressive power over standard Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). We empirically evaluate Convolutional KANs on the Fashion-MNIST dataset, demonstrating competitive accuracy with up to 50% fewer parameters compared to baseline classic convolutions. This suggests that the KAN Convolution can effectively capture complex spatial relationships with fewer resources, offering a promising alternative for parameter-efficient deep learning models.
