Abstract
This thesis bridges the gap from reservoir computing (RC) to unsupervised learning tasks.
We address what unsupervised RC entails by introducing reservoir time series analysis (RTSA), a
novel nonlinear time series analysis field which encapsulates features generated from the reservoir
state space.
We introduce and explore various RTSA features, demonstrating them on various dynamical
systems.
We then verify the use of RTSA in practice through application to unsupervised learning tasks,
specifically signal distinction, recurrence preservation and concept drift detection.
We demonstrate strong performance by the RTSA methods across these tasks which encourages
future development of the RTSA field.
