Abstract

Brain-inspired hyperdimensional (HD) computing emulates cognitive tasks by computing with long binary vectors-also know as hypervectors-as opposed to computing with numbers. However, we observed that in order to provide acceptable classification accuracy on practical applications, HD algorithms need to be trained and tested on nonbinary hypervectors. In this article, we propose SearcHD, a fully binarized HD computing algorithm with a fully binary training. SearcHD maps every data points to a high-dimensional space with binary elements. Instead of training an HD model with nonbinary elements, SearcHD implements a full binary training method which generates multiple binary hypervectors for each class. We also use the analog characteristic of nonvolatile memories (NVMs) to perform all encoding, training, and inference computations in memory. We evaluate the efficiency and accuracy of SearcHD on a wide range of classification applications. Our evaluation shows that SearcHD can provide on average 31.1× higher energy efficiency and 12.8× faster training as compared to the state-of-the-art HD computing algorithms.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In-memory computing is widely studied as an energy-efficient approach for hyperdimensional computing.

    “Therefore, in-memory computing is widely studied as an energy-efficient approach for hyperdimensional computing [135, 140,141,142].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
