The (2+1)-dimensional Sawada-Kotera equation is closely related to nonlinear wave applications in higher-dimensional spaces. In this study, we introduce, for the first time, the application of the bilinear neural network method (BNNM) to derive exact analytical solutions for this important equation. Moving beyond traditional approaches, this method allows us to systematically construct a rich family of solutions by designing specific neural network architectures. Specifically, we build single-layer bilinear neural network models to successfully obtain a variety of localized wave solutions. These include lump solutions, which are localized in all directions, breather solutions, which exhibit periodic oscillations in time, and intriguing hybrid lump-soliton solutions. To further explore the equation's complexity, we designed two distinct network architectures, namely [3-2-2-1] and [3-2-3-1], which effectively yielded novel interaction solutions between different wave types and periodic solutions. The characteristics and dynamic behaviors of all these solutions are then thoroughly investigated through detailed graphical representations, including three-dimensional surface plots, contour maps, and density plots, providing vivid insights into their evolution. The success of this work underscores the power of the BNNM framework. Its key advantage lies in its ability to incorporate and generalize numerous classical test functions used in bilinear theory, thereby demonstrating remarkable universality and potential as a unified method for tackling a broad class of nonlinear evolution equations. Our results not only enrich the solution set of the (2+1)-dimensional SK equation, but also establish BNNM as a promising and innovative tool in the field of mathematical physics.
