In this study, the bilinear neural network method (BNNM) is employed to obtain exact analytical solutions of the (2 + 1)-dimensional bidirectional Sawada–Kotera (bSK) equation. BSK describes the evolution and interaction of nonlinear wave structures propagating simultaneously in opposite spatial directions within a multidimensional medium. BNNM approach begins with the generalized Hirota bilinear method to transform the equation into bilinear form, after which the BNNM-integrating classical bilinear theory with neural network (NN) architectures is applied to derive closed-form solutions. In this framework, the trial functions are modeled through layered NNs, where activation functions and weight matrices determine the solution structures; the “3-2-1” and “3-3-1” architectures are used to generate diverse waveforms, including lump solutions, lump-kink interactions, rogue waves, breather–lump solitons, and periodic waves. The results are visualized through contour plots, and 3D surface graphs to capture the waves geometrical and dynamical attributes. This work is significant as it demonstrates that BNNM not only recovers known wave patterns but also generates new classes of test functions, offering a flexible and computationally efficient framework for exploring multidimensional nonlinear wave phenomena. The method has broad applicability in nonlinear optics, plasma physics, fluid dynamics, geophysical flows, and acoustics, where understanding the formation, interaction, and stability of localized and periodic structures is of practical importance.
