This repository contains the source code for classification based on the liquid state machine (LSM). The paper is published in ECML-16. You can find electronic version of paper in here.
We build our project on the basis of codes provided by Fengzhen Tang ([email protected]). This repository integrates work from other literatures. All the contact information is retained in the preamble. ALL necessary codes can be obtained freely from the Internet.
demo.m is a script to allow a quick view, and from which a quick start for your own project.
-
How to start?
- download the data sets from website here (The data sets are not included in this repo.)
- firstly, run
initpathto include some necessary folders. - run
NormalRV,GMMRV,fisherRV,SamplingRVto test classification. - we have included a data set for testing purpose. Run
demo.m, you will see the experimental result on that data.
-
How to adjust reservoir size (R_no) and regression coefficient (val) to get a best fitting?
- You may run
lsm_weight_*.mdirectly to see the fitting error, and you may also integrate your own own algorithm in adjustingR_noandval. test/test.mis a useful in finding best combination ofR_noandval.- In addition, default settings in
test/test.mshould not be ignored and they are good starting points for a beginner.

How to adjust svm parameters in svm, i.e.
costandkp?- Run
NormalRV,GMMRV,fisherRV,SamplingRVby feeding a list ofcostandkp, the best classification accuracy will come out.

This repository includes a precompiled version of csim 1.1.1 and libsvm 3.2, including mexw64, mexa64m, mexmaci64 for usage under Windows, Linux, Mac.
The csim can be found here. N.B. the original version from the website was altered to meet the updated operational environment.
libsvm 3.2 or higher version is required. libsvm is a library for support vector machines which was obtained from here.
