Physical Reservoir Computing Using Nonlinear Heat Conduction

As the demand for machine learning and data analysis increases with the rapid informatization of society, physical reservoir computing (PRC) that performs learning with low computational load by using transient state changes of nonlinear physical phenomena is gaining attention.
In this research, we propose a PRC using heat conduction with temperature dependent thermal conductivity, and aim to improve its performance.
