Fusing Swarm Intelligence and Self-Assembly for Optimizing Echo State Networks

Optimizing a neural network’s topology is a difficult problem for at least two reasons: the topology space is discrete, and the quality of any given topology must be assessed by assigning many different sets of weights to its connections. These two characteristics tend to cause very “rough.” objecti...
