Im trying to make a Liquid State Machine in python and I already read many articles about it, but still there are many points I dont understand.The readout function is a Feed-forward Neural Network, but how is it taught to read out the states? In the echo state network I had a train period when I feed a train signal through backward weights and by saving each steps state, the output weights were calculated. Is it the same way in the Liquid State Machine, or is its inner weight matrix trained instead (the connections between the inner nodes / neurons)? Or does it have an entirely different method?
How is the Liquid State Machine's readout function trained?
