Impact of Optimizer: Comparative Analysis of Loss Functions in Different Models
Abstract. This study compares the performance of different artificial neural network models for data classification problems. The models used include Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Kolmogorov–Arnold Network (KAN), and Liquid Time-Constant Networks (LTC). Model training was performed on the MITBIH ECG dataset, and modern optimization strategies with different loss functions were systematically compared. Evaluation metrics such as accuracy, macro-F1, precision, and recall were assessed. The findings show that KAN models provide high accuracy, while LTC models operate more slowly due to their time-step based calculations.
Keywords: Optimizers, loss functions, Kolmogorov–Arnold Network, Liquid Time-Constant Networks, Multilayer Perceptron
