RPN paper is released

The Reconciled Polynomial Network (RPN) paper is released. RPN has a very general architecture and can be used to build models with various complexities, capacities, and levels of completeness, which all contribute to the correctness of these models. In addition, RPN can also serve as the backbone to unify different base models into one canonical representation, including PGMs, kernel SVM, MLP and KAN.
