  2. Noise typically degrades the performance of physical systems. In some cases, however, noise can provide an enhanced effect. For instance, stochastic resonance may be observed in a nonlinear oscillator when a weak signal is boosted by noise. On the other hand, adaptive oscillators are a type of nonlinear oscillator that can learn and store information in dynamic states. Here, noise is shown to increase the learning rate of an adaptive oscillator, using a Duffing adaptive oscillator. To highlight this effect, stochastic simulations are employed, and the Fokker–Planck equation is semi-analytically solved using the cumulant neglect method. As adaptive oscillators can also be used as a powerful physical reservoir computer architecture, this work shows that the Duffing adaptive oscillator can be optimized for fast learning in noisy environments.
