Abstract
Reservoir computing systems and methods provide rapid processing speed by the reservoir and by the output layer. A hardware implementation of reservoir computing is based on an autonomous, time-delay, Boolean network realized on a readily-available platform known as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). This approach allows for a seamless coupling of the reservoir to the output layer due to the spatially simple nature of the reservoir state and because matrix multiplication of a Boolean vector can be realized with compact Boolean logic. Embodiments may be used to predict the behavior of a chaotic dynamical system.
Claims20
A reservoir computing device, comprising:
- an input layer configured to receive at least one input signal;
- a reservoir comprising a plurality of nodes, wherein at least one node of the plurality of nodes is coupled to the input layer to receive the at least one input signal, wherein the reservoir comprises an autonomous time-delay Boolean network;
- and
- an output layer configured to output at least one output signal, wherein at least another node of the plurality of nodes is coupled to the output layer,
- wherein the input layer, the reservoir, and the output layer are comprised in integrated circuitry.
A reservoir computing device, comprising:
- a reservoir comprising an autonomous time-delay Boolean network of nodes;
- and
- a controller configured to provide input data to the reservoir and receive output data from the reservoir, wherein the reservoir and the controller are comprised in integrated circuitry and configured to provide time-series prediction.
