• Abstract: Reservoir computation is a recurrent framework for learning and predicting time series data, that benefits from extremely simple training and interpretability, often as the the dynamics of a physical system. In this paper, we will study the impact of noise on the learning capabilities of analog reservoir computers. Recent work on reservoir computation has shown that the information processing capacity (IPC) is a useful metric for quantifying the degradation of the performance due to noise. We further this analysis and demonstrate that this degradation of the IPC limits the possible features that can be meaningfully constructed in an analog reservoir computing setting. We borrow a result from quantum complexity theory that relates the circuit model of computation to a continuous time model, and demonstrate an exponential reduction in the accessible volume of reservoir configurations. We conclude by relating this degradation in the IPC to the fat-shattering dimension of a family of functions describing the reservoir dynamics, which allows us to express our result in terms of a classification task. We conclude that any physical, analog reservoir computer that is exposed to noise can only be used to perform a polynomial amount of learning, despite the exponentially large latent space, even with an exponential amount of post-processing.

  In reservoir computing, the number of distinct states of the entire reservoir computer can potentially scale exponentially with the size of the reservoir hardware. While shot noise is a limiting factor in the performance of reservoir computing, we show significantly improved performance compared to a reservoir computer with similar hardware in cases where the effects of noise are small.

• Controlling dynamical systems to complex target states using machine learning: next-generation vs. classical reservoir computing [68.8204255655161]
  Controlling nonlinear dynamical systems using machine learning allows to drive systems into simple behavior like periodicity but also to more complex arbitrary dynamics. We show first that classical reservoir computing excels at this task. In a next step, we compare those results based on different amounts of training data to an alternative setup, where next-generation reservoir computing is used instead. It turns out that while delivering comparable performance for usual amounts of training data, next-generation RC significantly outperforms in situations where only very limited data is available.

  DPPs were introduced by Macchi as a model in quantum optics the 1970s. Most applications require sampling from a DPP, and given their quantum origin, it is natural to wonder whether sampling a DPP on a classical computer is easier than on a classical one. Vanilla sampling consists in two steps, of respective costs $mathcalO(N3)$ and $mathcalO(Nr2)$ operations on a classical computer, where $r$ is the rank of the kernel matrix.
