Résumé :

Using the machine learning approach known as reservoir computing, it is possible to train one dynamical system to emulate another. We show that such trained reservoir computers reproduce the properties of the attractor of the chaotic system sufficiently well to exhibit chaos synchronization. That is, the trained reservoir computer, weakly driven by the chaotic system, will synchronize with the chaotic system. Conversely, the chaotic system, weakly driven by a trained reservoir computer, will synchronize with the reservoir computer. We illustrate this behavior on the Mackey-Glass and Lorenz systems. We then show that trained reservoir computers can be used to crack chaos based cryptography and illustrate this on a chaos cryptosystem based on the Mackey-Glass system. We conclude by discussing why reservoir computers are so good at emulating chaotic systems.
