Abstract: We propose a novel machine learning algorithm inspired by complex analysis. Our algorithm has a better mathematical formulation and can approximate universal functions more efficiently. The algorithm can be implemented in two self-learning neural networks: The CauchyNet and the X-Net. The CauchyNet is very efficient for low-dimensional problems such as extrapolation, imputation, numerical solutions of PDEs and ODEs. The X-Net, on the other hand, works for large dimensional problems such as mage and voice recognitions, transformer and large language models. We will present some examples that works well with our algorithms. We show that it is much more efficient than many popular PINN models for various scientific computations. Also, for a set of brain tumor images we tested, it can increase accuracy from 88% to 98%. Our algorithm is yet to be tested on large complex problems.
