- Hyperdimensional computing (HDC) is an approach to computation, particularly artificial intelligence, where information is represented as a hyperdimensional (long) vector, an array of numbers. A hyperdimensional vector (hypervector) could include thousands of numbers that represent a point in a space of thousands of dimensions. Vector Symbolic Architectures is an older name for the same broad approach.[1]

- QUOTE: This is the starting point for a radically different approach to computation, known as hyperdimensional computing. The key is that each piece of information, such as the notion of a car or its make, model, or color, or all of it together, is represented as a single entity: a hyperdimensional vector. ... “This is the thing that I’ve been most excited about, practically in my entire career,” Olshausen said. To him and many others, hyperdimensional computing promises a new world in which computing is efficient and robust and machine-made decisions are entirely transparent.
- ... In 2015, a student of Olshausen’s named Eric Weiss demonstrated one aspect of hyperdimensional computing’s unique abilities. Weiss figured out how to represent a complex image as a single hyperdimensional vector that contains information about all the objects in the image, including their properties, such as colors, positions, and sizes.
