Abstract
Vector Symbolic Architecture (VSA), a.k.a. Hyperdimensional Computing has transformative potential for advancing cognitive processing capabilities at the network edge. This paper presents a technology integration experiment, demonstrating how the VSA paradigm offers robust solutions for generation-after-next AI deployment at the network edge. Specifically, we show how VSA effectively models and integrates the cognitive processes required to perform intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR). The experiment integrates functions across the observe, orientate, decide and act (OODA) loop, including the processing of sensed data via both a neuromorphic event-based camera and a standard CMOS frame-rate camera; declarative knowledge-based reasoning in a semantic vector space; action planning using VSA cognitive maps; access to procedural knowledge via large language models (LLMs); and efficient communication between agents via highly-compact binary vector representations. In contrast to previous ‘point solutions’ showing the effectiveness of VSA for individual OODA tasks, this work takes a ‘whole system’ approach, demonstrating the power of VSA as a uniform integration technology.
