Abstract
This article proposes a method to generate accurate and concise analytic equations for device compact modeling using Physics-Assisted Kolmogorov–Arnold Networks (PKAN). The equations are directly extracted from the trained neural network architecture. PKAN uses variable activation functions informed by prior physical knowledge to model device behaviors. Similarity constraints map these trained activation functions to mathematical symbols. Sparsification techniques simplify the network structure, producing concise and explicit equations. This article also presents four approaches for physics-assisted device modeling using PKAN: (1) generating entire continuous equations without human intervention, (2) applying correlation factors to existing models without requiring knowledge of internal physical mechanisms, (3) revising specific parts of existing models, and (4) automatically extending existing models. Experimental results show that PKAN demonstrates significant accuracy improvements, achieving error reductions of 91.8%, 91.5%, 66.2%, and 83.7% for corresponding experiments, respectively. These findings demonstrate PKAN’s potential for various device modeling applications. By combining the precision of neural networks with the clarity of symbolic representation, PKAN offers a powerful tool for device modeling applications.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
