Summary:Video recording of the keynote presentation "Thinking about Vector Symbolic Architectures" given on 2023-06-15 at the Midnight Sun Workshop on Vector Symbolic Architectures in Luleå, Sweden. Abstract Vector Symbolic Architectures are defined in terms of a very small set of operators acting on a vector space. The task of the VSA researcher is to discover the implications that follow from the definition in terms of the systems that can be implemented with VSAs. The VSA definitions are the researcher’s raw materials, but they also need tools to transform those raw materials into useful hypotheses and system designs. One important tool for a researcher is a conceptual framework, which specifies how the researcher thinks about VSAs and relates them to the other things they know. It is the researcher’s mental model of how VSAs work. The primary requirement for a conceptual framework is that it is productive; it should make it easy for the researcher to generate interesting hypotheses and designs. These hypotheses ... : As presented and live-streamed 2023-06-15 ...
