How does information traverse through a neural network such as LSTMs or ESNs?
In "The “echo state” approach to analysing and training recurrent neural networks-with an erratum note" (2001), H. Jaeger defines the "Echo State Network" (ESN). I have read that ...

Why do training and fixing a reservoir yield very similar results (in an echo state network)?
Disclaimer: I asked this question 2 days ago in Cross Validated, but it has been left unanswered.
I am trying to better understand how echo state networks work. To see, how fixing the weights of the ...

What do echo state networks give us over a generic RNN resevoir?
Slightly generalizing the definition in Jaeger 2001, let's define a reservoir system to be any system of the form
$$h_{t}=f(h_{t-1}, x_t)$$
$$y_t=g(Wh_t)$$
where $f$ and $g$ are fixed and $W$ is a ...

Why do we use a delay when feeding our input data to the echo state network?
I'm new to working with neural networks and have recently began implementing neural networks for time series forecasting in some of my work. I've been particularly using Echo State Networks and have ...

What is the significance of this Stanford University "Financial Market Time Series Prediction with RNN's" paper?
Researchers at Stanford University released, in 2012, the paper Financial Market Time Series Prediction with Recurrent Neural Networks.
It goes on to discuss how they used echo state networks to ...
