Whoa. Hyperdimensional what? Parsing through this felt a bit like being dumped into a pit of different puzzle sets mixed together. And I was lost in the terminology. It’s all very nebulous but I guess that’s the point.
- klyrs 6y agoI'm having trouble too... it sounds like they mean "1- and 2-dimensional vectors which are large" and not, say, billion-dimensional tensors. But if I'm reading that wrong I'd love to hear what's actually interesting here.
- jampekka 6y agoI had the same impression. I had a peek at some of the papers and did a quick search on the topic, but everything is so covered in hype it's difficult to get a grasp what's actually going on. My quick impression is that it's something similar to "embeddings", where some features (e.g. words) are mapped to some high-dimensional vector space and computations are done in that space. What those computations are seem to vary quite a bit from paper to paper.
- bitwize 6y agoJust the other day we had spatial computing; this sounds like when you get to the "but first we have to talk about parallel universes" bit of that.
