A Binding Procedure for Distributed Binary Data Representations

Cybernetics and Systems Analysis Aims and scope

Abstract

Problems (inherent in compound hierarchical representations) of preserving information on the structure of coded data and methods of solving them by “binding” of information substructures are discussed. A type of distributed representations is considered in which data are coded by multidimensional binary sparse vectors. The constraints imposed on a binding procedure are formulated and its implementation is provided. Some examples of representation of structured data are considered.
