Autonomous Learning by Simple Dynamical Systems with Delayed Feedbacks
  A general scheme for construction of dynamical systems able to learn generation of the desired kinds of dynamics through adjustment of their internal structure is proposed. The scheme involves intrinsic time-delayed feedback to steer the dynamics towards the target performance. As an example, a system of coupled phase oscillators, which can by changing the weights of connections between its elements evolve to a dynamical state with the prescribed (low or high) synchronization level, is considered and investigated.
