I get really sick of hearing about OpenAI and the rest of the LLM crowd making absurd claims about LLMs like ChatGPT being AGI. LLMs are not even close to AGI. If you want to see real research into AGI, watch this video on Chris Eliasmith's Spaun (semantic pointer architecture unified network). It may not look as snazzy and consumer-ready as all these hallucinating LLMs being marketed to us, but this is the real deal: A single system that can do lots of different things the brain does and that LLMs can never do.

Title: ”Sketching a Picture of Vector Symbolic Architectures”

Abstract : Sketching algorithms are a broad area of research in theoretical computer science and numerical analysis that aim to distil data into a simple summary, called a "sketch," that retains some essential notion of structure while being much more efficient to store, query, and transmit.

Vector-symbolic architectures (VSAs) are an approach to computing on data represented using random vectors, and provide an elegant conceptual framework for realizing a wide variety of data structures and algorithms in a way that lends itself to implementation in highly-parallel and energy-efficient computer hardware.

Sketching algorithms and VSA have a substantial degree of consonance in their methods, motivations, and applications. In this tutorial style talk, I will discuss some of the connections between these two fields, focusing, in particular, on the connections between VSA and tensor-sketches, a family of sketching algorithms concerned with the setting in which the data being sketched can be decomposed into Kronecker (tensor) products between more primitive objects. This is exactly the situation of interest in VSA and the two fields have arrived at strikingly similar solutions to this problem.

The schedule for the next VSAonline webinar series (January to June 2025) is published at:

https://sites.google.com/view/hdvsaonline/spring-2025

There are 11 talks around #VectorSymbolicArchitecture / #HyperdimensionalComputing

The talks are (almost always) recorded and published online, in case you can't participate in the live session.

I was looking through the VSAonline website (https://sites.google.com/view/hdvsaonline/home) and saw that by the end of this year there will be 96 recorded webinars plus the recordings from the Midnight Sun 2023 workshop.

So, if you're interested in #VectorSymbolicArchitecture / #HyperdimensionalComputing or just #VSA / #HDC -curious, the VSAonline website is the place to go (or head over to https://www.hd-computing.com/home, where there's a wider range of resources, including publication lists).

If you're (potentially) interested in Vector Symbolic Architectures / Hyperdimensional Computing and Artificial Intelligence and you're within reach of Palo Alto, California on June 12th then you should head along to the event being hosted by Nordic Innovation House. Some of my colleagues from UC Berkeley and Luleå Tekniska Universitet will be there.
