A recurrent neural network (RNN) possesses the echo state property (ESP) if, for a given input sequence, it ``forgets any internal states of the driven (nonautonomous) system and asymptotically follows a unique, possibly complex trajectory. The lack of ESP is conventionally understood as a lack of reliable behaviour in RNNs. Here, we show that RNNs can reliably perform computations under a more general principle that accounts only for their local behaviour in phase space. To this end, we formulate a generalisation of the ESP and introduce an echo index to characterise the number of simultaneously stable responses of a driven RNN. We show that it is possible for the echo index to change with inputs, highlighting a potential source of computational errors in RNNs due to characteristics of the inputs driving the dynamics.

We review attempts that have been made towards understanding the computational properties and mechanisms of input-driven dynamical systems like RNNs, and reservoir computing networks in particular. We provide details on methods that have been develop
ed to give quantitative answers to the questions above. Following this, we show how self-organization may be used to improve reservoirs for better performance, in some cases guided by the measures presented before. We also present a possible way to quantify task performance using an information-theoretic approach, and finally discuss promising future directions aimed at a better understanding of how these systems perform their computations and how to best guide self-organized processes for their optimization.
We consider the problem of training input-output recurrent neural networks (RNN) for sequence labeling tasks. We propose a novel spectral approach for learning the network parameters. It is based on decomposition of the cross-moment tensor between th
e output and a non-linear transformation of the input, based on score functions. We guarantee consistent learning with polynomial sample and computational complexity under transparent conditions such as non-degeneracy of model parameters, polynomial activations for the neurons, and a Markovian evolution of the input sequence. We also extend our results to Bidirectional RNN which uses both previous and future information to output the label at each time point, and is employed in many NLP tasks such as POS tagging.
Consistency is an extension to generalized synchronization which quantifies the degree of functional dependency of a driven nonlinear system to its input. We apply this concept to echo-state networks, which are an artificial-neural network version of
reservoir computing. Through a replica test we measure the consistency levels of the high-dimensional response, yielding a comprehensive portrait of the echo-state property.
Continuous time recurrent neural networks (CTRNN) are systems of coupled ordinary differential equations that are simple enough to be insightful for describing learning and computation, from both biological and machine learning viewpoints. We describ
e a direct constructive method of realising finite state input-dependent computations on an arbitrary directed graph. The constructed system has an excitable network attractor whose dynamics we illustrate with a number of examples. The resulting CTRNN has intermittent dynamics: trajectories spend long periods of time close to steady-state, with rapid transitions between states. Depending on parameters, transitions between states can either be excitable (inputs or noise needs to exceed a threshold to induce the transition), or spontaneous (transitions occur without input or noise). In the excitable case, we show the threshold for excitability can be made arbitrarily sensitive.
Echo State Networks (ESNs) are a special type of recurrent neural networks (RNNs), in which the input and recurrent connections are traditionally generated randomly, and only the output weights are trained. Despite the recent success of ESNs in vario
us tasks of audio, image and radar recognition, we postulate that a purely random initialization is not the ideal way of initializing ESNs. The aim of this work is to propose an unsupervised initialization of the input connections using the K-Means algorithm on the training data. We show that for a large variety of datasets this initialization performs equivalently or superior than a randomly initialized ESN whilst needing significantly less reservoir neurons. Furthermore, we discuss that this approach provides the opportunity to estimate a suitable size of the reservoir based on prior knowledge about the data.
