Bizarro the one on-topic comment here is "Dead." I came across this in reviewing echo state networks which this appears to be a distant relative of. The code samples made it useful.
You can do this yourself by the way: click the time of the post (".. minutes ago" / ".. days ago") to view the comment on its own and click the link to "Vouch" in the top line, where also the name and the time since commenting is shown.
That said, it's pretty marginal stuff. ESNs are weird. Cool weird anyway.
If I were looking at it in a serious way rather than reading the funny papers, I'd think about ways of applying topological ideas to ESNs. ESNs on the critical ridge probably have an interesting graph when projected onto a topological space.
