New RNNs bypass gradient descent using Koopman operator theory

Researchers have developed Koopman-informed recurrent neural networks (RNNs) that bypass traditional gradient-based training methods like backpropagation through time. This novel approach combines random feature networks with Koopman operator theory, enabling the construction of all RNN weights and biases without gradients. The method has demonstrated comparable forecasting accuracy to standard models but with significantly reduced training times, particularly for time series analysis, chaotic dynamical systems, and control problems.
