Photonic reservoir computing with non-linear memory cells: interplay between topology, delay and delayed input
Lina Jaurigue, Elizabeth Robertson, Janik Wolters, Kathy Lüdge · 2022
Photonic reservoir computing is an emerging topic due to the possibility to realize very fast devices with minimal training effort. We will discuss the reservoir computing performance of memory cells with a focus on the impact of delay lines and the interplay between coupling topology and performance for various benchmark tasks. We will further show that additional delayed input can be beneficial for reservoir computing setups in general, as it provides an easy tuning parameter, which can improve the performance of a reservoir on a range of tasks.
