Preprint.
No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
We present Rationally Linearized Multilayer Perceptrons(RaLiMPs), a new approach to efficiently linearizing MLPs using low-degree rational approximations of standard activation functions. Inspired by polynomial-based MLP linearization, we show that rational approximations can provide accurate representations at substantially lower degree. RaLiMPs exploit these approximations to construct kernel representations with narrow bottlenecks, enabling efficient composition across MLP layers. We provide theoretical guarantees for the resulting approximation and evaluate RaLiMPs across applications ranging from implicit 3D models to large language models. Our experiments demonstrate favorable accuracy--efficiency tradeoffs, with RaLiMPs achieving competitive or improved accuracy while substantially reducing inference cost.
