Learning unidirectional coupling using echo-state network
Reservoir Computing has found many potential applications in the field of complex dynamics. In this article, we exploit the exceptional capability of the echo-state network (ESN) model to make it learn a unidirectional coupling scheme from only a few time series data of the system. We show that, once trained with a few example dynamics of a drive-response system, the machine is able to predict the response system's dynamics for any driver signal with the same coupling. Only a few time series data of an A-B type drive-response system in training is sufficient for the ESN to learn the coupling scheme. After training even if we replace drive system A with a different system C, the ESN can reproduce the dynamics of response system B using the dynamics of new drive system C only.
