Kanerva has discussed alternative computing styles as well. Especially, he asks, why it is hard to encode intelligence in such a rigid setup. > The disparity in architecture between brains and computers is matched by disparity in performance. Notably, computers excel in routine tasks that we - our brains - accomplish with effort, such as calculation, whereas they are yet to be programmed for universal human traits such as flexible learning, language use, and understanding. He focuses on the representation problem and develops a more flexible representation of concepts with what he called hyperdimensional computing[1].
