Machine Learning Techniques based on Random Projections

Abstract

This paper presents a short introduction to the Reservoir Computing and Extreme Learning Machine main ideas and developments. While both methods make use of Neural Networks and Random Projections, Reservoir Computing allows the network to have a recurrent structure, while the Extreme Learning Machine is a Feedforward neural network only. Some state of the art techniques are briefly presented and this special session papers are finally briefly described, in the terms of this introductory paper.
