• Abstract: Background/introduction: Cross-Validation (CV) is still uncommon in time series modeling. Echo State Networks (ESNs), as a prime example of Reservoir Computing (RC) models, are known for their fast and precise one-shot learning, that often benefit from good hyper-parameter tuning. This makes them ideal to change the status quo. Methods: We discuss CV of time series for predicting a concrete time interval of interest, suggest several schemes for cross-validating ESNs and introduce an efficient algorithm for implementing them. This algorithm is presented as two levels of optimizations of doing $k$-fold CV. Training an RC model typically consists of two stages: (i) running the reservoir with the data and (ii) computing the optimal readouts. The first level of our optimization addresses the most computationally expensive part (i) and makes it remain constant irrespective of $k$. It dramatically reduces reservoir computations in any type of RC system and is enough if $k$ is small. The second level of optimization also makes the (ii) part remain constant irrespective of large $k$, as long as the dimension of the output is low. We discuss when the proposed validation schemes for ESNs could be beneficial, three options for producing the final model and empirically investigate them on six different real-world datasets, as well as do empirical computation time experiments. We provide the code in an online repository. Results: Proposed CV schemes give better and more stable test performance in all the six different real-world datasets, three task types. Empirical run times confirm our complexity analysis. Conclusions: In most situations $k$-fold CV of ESNs and many other RC models can be done for virtually the same time and space complexity as a simple single-split validation. This enables CV to become a standard practice in RC.

  On-device continual learning (CL) requires the co-optimization of model accuracy and resource efficiency to be practical. It is commonly believed that CNN-based CL excels in resource efficiency, whereas ViT-based CL is superior in model performance. We introduce REP, which improves resource efficiency specifically targeting prompt-based rehearsal-free methods.

  We propose a targeted cross-validation (TCV) to select models or procedures based on a general weighted $L$ loss. We show that the TCV is consistent in selecting the best performing candidate under the $L$ loss. In this work, we broaden the concept of the selection consistency by allowing the best candidate to switch as the sample size varies.
