Systematic Comparison Of Reservoir Computing Frameworks, Nihar S. Koppolu, Christof Teuscher May 2024

Systematic Comparison Of Reservoir Computing Frameworks, Nihar S. Koppolu, Christof Teuscher

Student Research Symposium

In this poster, we present a systematic evaluation and comparison of five Reservoir computing (RC) software simulation frameworks, namely reservoirpy, RcTorch, pyRCN, pytorch-esn, and ReservoirComputing.jl. RC is a specific machine learning approach that leverages fixed, nonlinear systems to map signals into higher dimensions. Its unique strength lies in training only the readout layer, which reduces the training complexity. RC excels in temporal signal processing and is also well suited for various physical implementations. The increasing interest in RC has led to the proliferation of various RC simulation frameworks. Our RC simulation framework evaluation focuses on a feature comparison, documentation quality, …


Behavioral Intention For Ai Usage In Higher Education, Isaac A. Odai, Elliot Wiley May 2024

Behavioral Intention For Ai Usage In Higher Education, Isaac A. Odai, Elliot Wiley

Student Research Symposium

This study sought to further understand the cognitive factors that influence undergraduate students' behavioral intention to use generative AI. Generative AI's presence in academic spaces opens the door for ethical and pedagogical questions. This study surveyed 51 undergraduate communication students to measure their attitudes, subjective norms, self efficacy and their behavioral intention to use GenAI for school work. The results of this study showed behavioral intent had a positive relationship with attitudes and subjective norms. The implications of these findings show that personal beliefs and the perceived beliefs of others are correlated to undergraduate students’ intent to use GenAI for …


Predicting Forage Provision Of Grasslands Across Climate Zones By Hyperspectral Measurements, F. A. Männer, J. Muro, J. Ferner, S. Schmidtlein, A. Linstädter Feb 2024

Predicting Forage Provision Of Grasslands Across Climate Zones By Hyperspectral Measurements, F. A. Männer, J. Muro, J. Ferner, S. Schmidtlein, A. Linstädter

IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)

The potential of grasslands’ fodder production is a crucial management measure, while its quantification is still laborious and costly. Remote sensing technologies, such as hyperspectral field measurements, enable fast and non-destructive estimation. However, such methods are still limited in transferability to other locations or climatic conditions. With this study, we aim to predict forage nutritive value, quantity, and energy yield from hyperspectral canopy reflections of grasslands across three climate zones. We took hyperspectral measurements with a field spectrometer from grassland canopies in temperate, tropical and semi-arid grasslands, and analyzed corresponding biomass samples for their quantity (BM), metabolizable energy content (ME) …
