LeHDC: Learning-Based Hyperdimensional Computing Classifier
share
Thanks to the tiny storage and efficient execution, hyperdimensional Computing (HDC) is emerging as a lightweight learning framework on resource-constrained hardware. Nonetheless, the existing HDC training relies on various heuristic methods, significantly limiting their inference accuracy. In this paper, we propose a new HDC framework, called LeHDC, which leverages a principled learning approach to improve the model accuracy. Concretely, LeHDC maps the existing HDC framework into an equivalent Binary Neural Network architecture, and employs a corresponding training strategy to minimize the training loss. Experimental validation shows that LeHDC outperforms previous HDC training strategies and can improve on average the inference accuracy over 15
