Short Bio: Antonello Rosato was born in 1990. He received his Telecommunication Engineering degree (M.Sc.) with Honors from the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, Italy, in 2015. In 2018, he received the Ph.D. degree in Information and Communications Technologies from the same university. He is currently a Research Fellow at the Dept. of Information Engineering, Electronics and Telecommunications (DIET), University of Rome “La Sapienza”. His research interests include machine learning techniques for prediction of complex behaviors, neural and fuzzy-neural models and systems, distributed clustering algorithms, randomized neural networks performance. His current activities are in the field hyperdimensional computing, quantum computing and applied deep learning for practical implementation in the energy and biomedical domains.
Format: Hybrid event, with invited speakers and call for presentations.
Short Description: The Workshop at DATE 2024 invites submissions for an exploration of cutting-edge developments in Hyperdimensional Computing (HDC) and Vector Symbolic Architectures (VSA) regarding the both the theory and application of these concepts to study, design and automate new systems that leverage the mathematical properties of high-dimensional spaces. The goal is to provide new insights on how HDC and VSA can be useful for a variety of practical applications in different field, also to enhance our understanding of human perception and cognition. The workshop will be organized in two main parts: an invited speakers’ keynote presentation and a poster session with open discussion.
Scope: We seek participants that delve into the practical application of HDC and VSA principles in various domains, with a particular focus on automation, design, and advanced AI functionalities. The poster presentations are encouraged in the following areas (but not limited to):
1. Neural Network Models and AI algorithms: Present novel solutions and systems utilizing HDC and VSA in neural network architectures and generalized AI models, emphasizing their application potential.
2. Practical Applications: Showcase how HDC and VSA concepts have been deployed to solve real-world challenges in fields such as Computer Vision, Wireless Communication, Language Processing, Classification, Time Series Prediction, and Neural Modeling.
3. System Design: Explore the potential of constructing comprehensive artificial intelligence systems based on HDC/VSA principles and discuss the taxonomy of recent advancements in this area.
4. Interpretability and Human Interaction: Investigate the new possible insights obtainable via HDC & VSA on explainability and human-machine teaming.
5. Future Directions and New Perspectives: Reflect on the present and future of HDC and VSA principles, in the theory realm and examining their applications in emerging technologies such as robotics and energy-aware AI developments.
Motivation and Target Audience:
While HDC and VSA concepts are not new, recent advances in brain-inspired technologies and deep neural models have revitalized their relevance in technology and systems design. The community is steadily growing, as last years’ Workshop testifies, and it would be very beneficial to have a moment of discussion for all the people who are interested in these concepts in the European Union and outside. This workshop will be held and promoted thanks to the participation of the whole well-established VSACommunity group (more info at https://www.hd-computing.com/) and will provide a platform to consolidate the latest research and innovations in HDC and VSA, fostering dialogue on energy-aware computation, neural interpretability, and bio-inspired computing. This workshop is tailored for researchers and practitioners passionate about HDC and VSA, with a keen interest in system design, AI, and neural networks. We welcome contributions from individuals seeking to bridge the gap between theory and practical application in these dynamic fields. The target audience also includes researchers who are interested in knowing more about these concepts and how they can be applied.
Submission Guidelines:
