Reservoir computing is a form of machine learning that utilizes nonlinear dynamical systems to perform complex tasks in a cost-effective manner.
Recent advancements in reservoir computing include the use of inherently stochastic reservoirs, such as quantum reservoir computing.
This paper investigates the universality of stochastic reservoir computers by using a stochastic system for reservoir computing.
The study proves that stochastic reservoir computers are universal approximating classes and demonstrates improved performance compared to deterministic reservoir computers in certain cases.
