Introduction

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, efficient and robust methods for representing and processing information are paramount. Hyperdimensional Computing (HDC) emerges as a promising paradigm, blending principles from neuroscience, cognitive science and computer science to offer novel computational frameworks.

Central to HDC is the concept of hypervector quantization, a technique that transforms complex data, such as neural network weights, into high-dimensional binary vectors known as hypervectors. This blog post delves deep into the intricacies of hypervector quantization, elucidating its mathematical foundations, practical implementations, use cases, benefits, and an in-depth analysis of experimental results.

Understanding Hyperdimensional Computing

The Paradigm Shift in Computing

Traditional computing paradigms, primarily based on binary logic and digital circuits, have served as the backbone of technological advancements for decades. However, as the complexity of computational tasks increases, especially in the realm of artificial intelligence and machine learning, alternative paradigms like…
