Hyperdimensional Computing Library for building Vector Symbolic Architectures in Python

hdlib

Hyperdimensional Computing Library for building Vector Symbolic Architectures in Python 3.

Vector-Symbolic Architectures (VSA, a.k.a. Hyperdimensional Computing) is an emergent computing paradigm that works by combining vectors in a high-dimensional space for representing and processing information. This approach recently shown promise in various domains for dealing with different kind of computational problems, including artificial intelligence, cognitive science, robotics, natural language processing, bioinformatics, medical informatics, cheminformatics, and internet of things among other scientific disciplines.

Here we present hdlib, a Python library for designing Vector-Symbolic Architectures. It is distributed under the MIT license as a Python package through PyPI and Conda on the conda-forge channel.

GitHub releases are also available on Zenodo at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7996502.

Please refer to the official Wiki for any information about the implemented modules and how to use the library.
