Title
Echo State Network With Adversarial Training
Abstract
Reservoir Computing (RC) is a high-speed machine learning framework for temporal data processing. Especially, the Echo State Network (ESN), which is one of the RC models, has been successfully applied to many temporal tasks. However, its prediction ability depends heavily on hyperparameter values. In this work, we propose a new ESN training method inspired by Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Our method intends to minimize the difference between the distribution of teacher data and that of generated samples, and therefore we can generate samples that reflect the dynamics in the teacher data. We apply a feedforward neural network as a discriminator so that we don't need to use backpropagation through time in training. We justify the effectiveness of the proposed method in time series prediction tasks.
