Reservoir Computing (RC) <\/span> <\/span> consists of a learning machine that maps input signals to a higher dimensional space through the dynamics of a fixed, non-linear reservoir<\/em>; the embedding produced by the reservoir is then fed to a readout function for the final output.
In RC, the reservoir is a fixed “black box” and we learn only the readout. There are two main advantages to this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
