Abstract

We investigate the effects of application of random time-shifts to the readouts of a reservoir computer in terms of both accuracy (training error) and performance (testing error.) For different choices of the reservoir parameters and different `tasks', we observe a substantial improvement in both accuracy and performance. We then develop a simple but effective technique to optimize the choice of the time-shifts, which we successfully test in numerical experiments.
