Cognitive modeling and learning with sparse binary hypervectors (2310.18316v1)

Abstract: Following the general theoretical framework of VSA (Vector Symbolic Architecture), a cognitive model with the use of sparse binary hypervectors is proposed. In addition, learning algorithms are introduced to bootstrap the model from incoming data stream, with much improved transparency and efficiency. Mimicking human cognitive process, the training can be performed online while inference is in session. Word-level embedding is re-visited with such hypervectors, and further applications in the field of NLP (Natural Language Processing) are explored.
