InKAN: Fast, Interpretable Kolmogorov-Arnold Network Layers
A PyTorch library for fast, numerically stable B-spline KAN layers — 2.8-3.5x faster forward-pass than recursive implementations. Supports 1D univariate splines and 2D tensor-product B-spline surfaces for building interpretable neural networks.

Prediction-Based Markov Violation Scores for Detecting Non-Markovian Observations in Reinforcement Learning
Introduces prediction-based Markov Violation Scores (MVS) to detect when observations in RL violate the Markov property. The method leverages prediction errors from learned dynamics models to quantify non-Markovian behavior, enabling more robust policy learning under partial observability.
🎉 Accepted at RLC 2026 and published in Reinforcement Learning Journal.

Temporal Functional Circuits: From Spline Plots to Faithful Explanations in KAN Forecasting
Proposes Temporal Functional Circuits (TFCs), a framework for extracting faithful, interpretable explanations from Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) applied to time-series forecasting. By analyzing learned spline activations, TFCs reveal how individual input features are transformed and combined, offering transparent insight into KAN predictions.
Status: Under review for NeurIPS 2026

Reasoning LLM Model trained using RL
Scan the QR code above to try our live nutrition estimation service! Text a meal description like "I had a bagel for breakfast" and get instant nutrition analysis. This LLM was trained on the NutriBench dataset and fine-tuned using Reinforcement Learning on the Llama3.1B model. The inference model is hosted on AWS for real-time responses.

Fog on a Mountain Run Run Run: A Story of AI
A thriller set in the San Francisco Bay Area about interpretable AI, invisible failures, and the cost of building machines we cannot understand. Inspired by real events and grounded in real science, this is not a story against AI — it's a story for building AI we can trust.

N arm bandits is a classical problem in computer science. In this Jupyter note book we will empirically verify that near greedy approch converges to optimal values faster than non greedy or greedy approches and maximizes the expected rewards. Jupyter Notebook

Causal Structure Discovery is the problem of identifying causal relationships from large quantities of data through computational methods. Solution to this problem can have wide of applications in non empirical scientific studies like climate, biodiversity and health. The current problem is existing methods are computationally not scalable and are data intensive. Jupyter Notebook
