Learning Holographic Reduced Representations with Clifford Variational Autoencoders
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.28409v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vector Symbolic Algebras project data structures into a hyperdimensional vector space through the application of their vector algebras to randomly generated atomic vector symbols and fractional power encodings of real-valued data. Embedding unstructured data remains an open question. We present \textit{Clifford-VAE}, a variational autoencoder that learns to project data onto a Clifford torus in arbitrary dimensions. Experiments using the MNIST, FashionMNIST, and CIFAR-10 datasets demonstrate that Clifford-VAE produces representations that are c
