A Walsh Hadamard Derived Linear Vector Symbolic Architecture

NeurIPS 2024poster

Vector Symbolic Architectures (VSAs) are one approach to developing Neuro-symbolic AI, where two vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$ are 'bound' together to produce a new vector in the same space. VSAs support the commutativity and associativity of this binding operation, along with an inverse operation, allo…

Holographic Global Convolutional Networks for Long-Range Prediction Tasks in Malware Detection

AISTATS 2024poster

Malware detection is an interesting and valuable domain to work in because it has significant real-world impact and unique machine-learning challenges. We investigate existing long-range techniques and benchmarks and find that they’re not very suitable in this problem area. In this paper, we introdu…

Recasting Self-Attention with Holographic Reduced Representations

ICML 2023poster

In recent years, self-attention has become the dominant paradigm for sequence modeling in a variety of domains. However, in domains with very long sequence lengths the $\mathcal{O}(T^2)$ memory and $\mathcal{O}(T^2 H)$ compute costs can make using transformers infeasible. Motivated by problems in ma…

Deploying Convolutional Networks on Untrusted Platforms Using 2D Holographic Reduced Representations

ICML 2022spotlight

Due to the computational cost of running inference for a neural network, the need to deploy the inferential steps on a third party’s compute environment or hardware is common. If the third party is not fully trusted, it is desirable to obfuscate the nature of the inputs and outputs, so that the thir…
