Restricted Reservoirs on Heterogeneous Timescales

The Reservoir Computing model is one that is suited to computing with physical materials. However, the limitations of those materials can lead to low computational power. To address this, we plan to combine reservoirs operating on different timescales together to create a heterogeneous reservoir. We simulate this using a new multiple timescale ESN model. We also introduce “mock materials” so that future works may focus on combining different materials to study the effect. We benchmark our multi-timescale ESN on a multiple timescale problem, MSO.
