Hyperdimensional computing
open-in-new
<p>Hyperdimensional computing (HDC) is an approach to computation, particularly <a href="/facts/Artificial_general_intelligence/vbxwaq8t">Artificial General Intelligence</a>. HDC is motivated by the observation that the <a href="/facts/Cerebellum/kBRS2Lou">cerebellum cortex</a> operates on high-dimensional data representations. In HDC, information is thereby represented as a hyperdimensional (long) <a href="/facts/Vector_(mathematics_and_physics)/U8mM7A5F">vector</a> called a hypervector. A hyperdimensional vector (hypervector) could include thousands of numbers that represent a point in a space of thousands of dimensions, as vector symbolic architectures is an older name for the same approach. This research extenuates into <a href="/facts/Artificial_immune_system/SxB3gsaB">Artificial Immune Systems</a> for creating <a href="/facts/Artificial_general_intelligence/vbxwaq8t">Artificial General Intelligence</a>. </p>
