Hyperdimensional Computing (HDC) is a computation framework based on properties of high-dimensional random spaces. It is particularly useful for machine learning in resource-constrained environments, such as embedded systems and IoT, as it achieves a good balance between accuracy, efficiency and robustness. The mapping of information to the hyperspace, named encoding , is the most important stage in HDC. At its heart are basis-hypervectors , responsible for representing the smallest units of…

This work proposes to embed features extracted from event-driven dynamic vision sensors to binary sparse representations in hyperdimensional (HD) space for regression using estimates and confidences of an initial model trained with only 25% of data, resulting in a close match with accuracy obtained with an oracle model on ground truth labels.
