In this study, we use a reservoir computing based echo state network (ESN) to predict the collective burst synchronization of neurons. Specifically, we investigate the ability of ESN in predicting the burst synchronization of an ensemble of Rulkov neurons placed on a scale-free network. We have shown that a limited number of nodal dynamics used as input in the machine can capture the real trend of burst synchronization in this network. Further, we investigate on the proper selection of nodal inputs of degree-degree (positive and negative) correlated networks. We show that for a disassortative network, selection of different input nodes based on degree has no significant role in machine's prediction. However, in the case of assortative network, training the machine with the information (i.e time series) of low-degree nodes gives better results in predicting the burst synchronization. Finally, we explain the underlying mechanism responsible for observing this differences in prediction in a degree correlated network.
