Beyond Lipschitz Continuity and Monotonicity: Fractal and Chaotic Activation Functions in Echo State Networks

This article explores the use of fractal and chaotic activation functions in Echo State Networks (ESNs). This is a niche area of research, potentially offering improvements in ESN performance by moving beyond traditional activation function properties like Lipschitz continuity and monotonicity. The focus on fractal and chaotic systems suggests an attempt to introduce more complex dynamics into the network, which could lead to better modeling of complex temporal data. The source, ArXiv, indicates this is a pre-print and hasn't undergone peer review, so the claims need to be viewed with caution until validated.
