contents Reservoir Computing (RC) has become popular in recent years thanks to its fast and efficient computational capabilities. Standard RC has been shown to be equivalent in the asymptotic limit to Recurrent Kernels, which helps in analyzing its expressive power. However, many well-established RC paradigms, such as Leaky RC, Sparse RC, and Deep RC, are yet to be systematically analyzed in such a way. We define the Recurrent Kernel limit of all these RC topologies and conduct a convergence study for a wide range of activation functions and hyperparameters. Our findings provide new insights into various aspects of Reservoir Computing. First, we demonstrate that there is an optimal sparsity level which grows with the reservoir size. Furthermore, our analysis suggests that Deep RC should use reservoir layers of decreasing sizes. Finally, we perform a benchmark demonstrating the efficiency of Structured Reservoir Computing compared to vanilla and Sparse Reservoir Computing.
