Short Term Memory and Pattern Matching with Simple Echo State Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two recently proposed approaches to recognize temporal patterns have been proposed by Jäger with the so called Echo State Network (ESN) and by Maass with the so called Liquid State Machine (LSM). The ESN approach assumes a sort of “black-box” operability of the networks and claims a broad applicability to several different problems using the same principle. Here we propose a simplified version of ESNs which we call Simple Echo State Network (SESN) which exhibits good results in memory capacity and pattern matching tasks and which allows a better understanding of the capabilities and restrictions of ESNs.

Integration of remote sensing and meteorological data to predict flooding time using deep learning algorithm
Accurate flood forecasting is a vital need to reduce its risks. Due to the complicated structure of flood and river flow, it is somehow difficult to solve this problem. Artificial neural networks, such as frequent neural networks, offer good performance in time series data. In recent years, the use of Long Short Term Memory networks hase attracted much attention due to the faults of frequent ne...
متن کاملArchitectural designs of Echo State Network
Reservoir computing (RC) refers to a new class of state-space models with a fixed state transition structure (the “reservoir”) and an adaptable readout from the state space. The reservoir is supposed to be sufficiently complex so as to capture a large number of features of the input stream that can be exploited by the reservoir-to-output readout mapping. The field of RC has been growing rapidly...
متن کاملOn the importance of sluggish state memory for learning long term dependency
The vanishing gradients problem inherent in Simple Recurrent Networks (SRN) trained with back-propagation, has led to a significant shift towards the use of Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) and Echo State Networks (ESN), which overcome this problem through either second order error-carousel schemes or different learning algorithms respectively. This paper re-opens the case for SRN-based approaches...
متن کاملSketch-Based Interfaces: Exploiting Spatio-temporal Context for Automatic Stroke Grouping
In this paper, we investigate how discourse context in the form of short-term memory can be exploited to automatically group consecutive strokes in digital freehand sketching. With this machine learning approach, no database of explicit object representations is used for template matching on a complete scene—instead, grouping decisions are based on limited spatio-temporal context. We employ two...
متن کاملDistributed Sequence Memory of Multidimensional Inputs in Recurrent Networks
Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have drawn interest from machine learning researchers because of their effectiveness at preserving past inputs for time-varying data processing tasks. To understand the success and limitations of RNNs, it is critical that we advance our analysis of their fundamental memory properties. We focus on echo state networks (ESNs), which are RNNs with simple memoryless ...
