Apologies for cross and multiple postings.

2^nd Int. Workshop on Reservoir Computing @ ICANN'24

Reservoir Computing (RC) denotes a class of recurrent neural models whose dynamics are left unadapted after initialization. The approach is appealing for several reasons, such as fast training, a natural propensity to edge computing and strong theoretical foundations with implications for the basic properties of recurrent neural networks in general.

After the success of the first edition, the 2^nd International Workshop on Reservoir Computing (RC 2024) intends to bring back together researchers to update the discussion on the state-of-the-art and the cutting-edge challenges in the field of RC, in all its declinations.

All accepted papers will be published in the Springer LNCS series. Read all the details in the call for papers on the workshop website: LINK.

Topics

Potential topics of interest for the workshop include (without being limited to) the following:

• Echo State Networks, Liquid State Machines

• Hybrids of fully-trained and RC models

• Deep Reservoir Computing

• Reservoir Computing for structured data (trees, graphs, networks, …)

• Ensemble learning and Reservoir Computing

• Trustworthy AI concepts for Reservoir Computing

• Reservoir dimensionality reduction, efficient reservoir hyper-parameter search and learning

• Reservoir Computing in Neuroscience

• Theoretical analysis of Reservoir Computing

• Statistical Learning Theory of Reservoir Computing networks

• Reservoir Computing for AI applications (e.g., vision, natural language processing, health, bioinformatics, etc.)

Location

The Workshop will be located within the 33^rd International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (ICANN 2024), which will be held in Lugano, Switzerland from 17 to 20 September 2024. For registration, venue, and other information, please see the ICANN 2024 conference website: LINK.
