New NysHD method bridges hyperdimensional computing and kernel methods

Researchers have introduced NysHD, a novel method for mapping data into high-dimensional space within the framework of hyperdimensional computing (HDC). This new technique leverages the Nyström method, commonly used in kernel approximation, to create a mapping that is equivalent to using any user-defined positive-semidefinite similarity function. This integration allows for the application of a wide range of existing similarity functions to HDC, expanding its problem-solving capabilities. Empirical results indicate that NysHD significantly improves classification accuracy on graph and string datasets compared to existing HDC encoding methods. AI

IMPACT Enhances hyperdimensional computing by integrating advanced kernel approximation techniques, potentially improving performance on graph and string data.
