How to implement ESN layers or more generally reservoir computing approach in MATLAB DDPG agent

Hello,

Is it possible to use echo state neural networks and generally reservoir computing approach as actor and critic networks in MATLAB with DDPG agent? Does MATLAB support this feature? If yes, how to do it and also from what version of MATLAB is it supported and If no, how do you suggest to implement it manually?

Any Suggestion ?

Hi @Amir,

ESN layer is not supported as of now in MATLAB as of now. You may find this file exchange useful which contains the implementation for ESN layers:

Also, you can find the list of deep learning layers supported in MATLAB using this documentation link:
