Mass Conservation as an Inductive Bias for Self-Organized Criticality in NCA Reservoirs

Tong Zhang, Etienne Guichard, Sidney Pontes-Filho +1

Self-organized criticality (SOC), a dynamical regime associated with maximal information processing, offers a promising foundation for reservoir computing. Recent work has shown th…
