Hyperdimensional computing

Definition

Hyperdimensional computing (HDC) is an approach to computation. HDC is motivated by the observation that the cerebellum operates on high-dimensional data representations. In HDC, information is thereby represented as a hyperdimensional (long) vector, which is 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 provided approach.
