Abstract

Functional Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (FunKAN) achieve state-of-the-art accuracy on MRI Gibbs artifact removal and anatomical segmentation, but their 11.6 M parameters and 8.7 GFLOPs are too large for edge medical devices. We present FunKANLite, a two-stage, hardware-aware compression of FunKAN for point-of-care use. FunKANLite-TR reduces the spatial prior and replaces the ResBlock offset predictor with a depthwise-separable block. It has 1.9x fewer parameters than FunKAN and no loss in accuracy. We then distill FunKANLite-TR into FunKANLite-ST, which lowers the Hermite basis rank, factorizes the spatial prior into a low-rank form, and halves the filter widths. FunKANLite-ST has 5.6x fewer parameters and 3.7x fewer GFLOPs than FunKAN. It stays within 1.4 percentage points IoU of FunKAN on BUSI, GlaS, and CVC-ClinicDB, and reaches 33.95 dB PSNR on IXI. On an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano and a Raspberry Pi 5, FunKANLite-ST reduces energy per inference by up to 68% and raises throughput by 2.9x.
