Reservoir computing is a branch of neuromorphic computing, which is usually realized in the form of ESNs (Echo State Networks). In this talk, I will present some fundamentals of reservoir computing from both the mathematical and the computational points of view. While reservoir computing was designed for sequential/time-series data, we recently observed its great performances in dealing with static image data once the reservoir is set to process certain image features, not the images themselves. Hence, I will discuss possible applications and open questions in reservoir computing.
