Overfitting Characteristics of Reservoir-Computing-Based Nonlinear Equalizer Trained on PRBS and Repeated Random Bit Sequence

Abstract: We investigated the overfitting characteristics of a reservoir-computing (RC)-based nonlinear equalizer, which is used to compensate for optical nonlinear waveform distortion in optical ...
