In this paper we analyze an echo state neural network (ESN) in the presence of uncorrelated additive and multiplicative white Gaussian noise. Here consider case where artificial neurons have a linear activation function with different slope coefficients. We influence input signal, memory connection matrices on accumulation found that general view variance signal-to-noise ratio ESN output signal...

Among the various data-driven approaches used for RUL prediction, Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) have certain prima facie advantages over other approaches because the connections between internal nodes form directed cycles, thus creating internal states which enables the network to encapsulate dynamic temporal behavior and also to properly handle the noise affecting the collected signals. How...

As an efficient recurrent neural network (RNN) model, reservoir computing (RC) models, such as Echo State Networks, have attracted widespread attention in the last decade. However, while they have had great success with time series data [1], [2], many time series have a multiscale structure, which a single-hidden-layer RC model may have difficulty capturing. In this paper, we propose a novel hi...

The enriched semantic network (ESN) has previously been presented as an enhancement of the semantic network (SN) of the UMLS. The ESN's hierarchy is a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) structure allowing for multiple parents. The ESN is thus more complex than the SN and can be more difficult to view and comprehend. We have previously introduced the notion of a metaschema for the SN as a compact abst...

Echo State Networks (ESN) are a type of Recurrent Neural Network that yields promising results in representing time series and nonlinear dynamic systems. Although they equipped with very efficient training procedure, Reservoir Computing strategies, such as the ESN, require high-order networks, i.e., many neurons, resulting large number states magnitudes higher than model inputs outputs. A not o...

This work proposes the design of Environmental Sensor Networks (ESN) through balancing robustness and redundancy. An Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) is employed to find the optimal placement of sensor nodes in the Region of Interest (RoI). Data quality issues are introduced to simulate their impact on the performance of the ESN. Spatial Regression Test (SRT) is also utilised to promote robustness i...

Reservoir computing has emerged in the last decade as an alternative to gradient descent methods for training recurrent neural networks. Echo State Network (ESN) is one of the key reservoir computing “flavors”. While being practical, conceptually simple, and easy to implement, ESNs require some experience and insight to achieve the hailed good performance in many tasks. Here we present practica...

As potential candidates for human cognition, connectionist models of sentence processing must learn to behave systematically by generalizing from a small traning set. It was recently shown that Elman networks and, to a greater extent, echo state networks (ESN) possess limited ability to generalize in artificial language learning tasks. We study this capacity for the recently introduced recursiv...

This research work proposes a new intelligent segmentation technique for functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). It has been implemented using an Echostate Neural Network (ESN). Segmentation is an important process that helps in identifying objects of the image. Existing segmentation methods are not able to exactly segment the complicated profile of the fMRI accurately. Segmentation of ev...
