Reviewers unanimously liked the idea and novel connections between Reservoir Computing (RC) and Recurrent Kernels (RK) and the link between Kernel Methods (KM) with Random Features (RF) to be equivalent to RC. There were few minor concerns that were aptly addressed in the rebuttal. Post rebuttal discussion made it very clear that this is one of the best papers in many reviewers lot! We hope authors will use the feedback to make a better camera ready version.
