Fig. 1. A traditional RC is implicit in an NG-RC.
(top) A traditional RC processes time-series data associated with a strange attractor (blue, middle left) using an artificial recurrent neural network. The forecasted strange attractor (red, middle right) is a linear weight of the reservoir states. (bottom) The NG-RC performs a forecast using a linear weight of time-delay states (two times shown here) of the time series data and nonlinear functionals of this data (quadratic functional shown here).
