NEURAL DISTRIBUTED REPRESENTATIONS OF VECTOR DATA IN INTELLIGENT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES
Introduction. Distributed representation (DR) of data is a form of a vector representation, where each object is represented by a set of vector components, and each vector component can belong to representations of many objects. In ordinary vector representations, the meaning of each component is defined, which cannot be said about DR. However, the similarity of RP vectors reflects the similarity of the objects they represent.
DR is a neural network approach based on modeling the representation of information in the brain, resulted from ideas about a “distributed” or “holographic” representations. DRs have a large information capacity, allow the use of a rich arsenal of methods developed for vector data, scale well for processing large amounts of data, and have a number of other advantages. Methods for data transformation to DRs have been developed for data of vari-ous types – from scalar and vector to graphs.
The purpose of the article is to provide an overview of part of the work of the Department of Neural Information Processing Technologies (International Center) in the field of neural network distributed representations. The approach is a development of the ideas of Nikolai Amosov and his scientific school of modeling the structure and functions of the brain.
Scope. The formation of distributed representations from the original vector representations of objects using random projection is considered. With the help of the DR, it is possible to efficiently estimate the similarity of the original objects represented by numerical vectors. The use of DR allows developing regularization methods for obtaining a stable solution of discrete ill-posed inverse problems, increasing the computational efficiency and accuracy of their solution, analyzing analytically the accuracy of the solution. Thus DRs allow for in-creasing the efficiency of information technologies applying them.
Conclusions. DRs of various data types can be used to improve the efficiency and intelligence level of information technologies. DRs have been developed for both weakly structured data, such as vectors, and for complex structured representations of objects, such as sequences, graphs of knowledge-base situations (episodes), etc. Transformation of different types of data into the DR vector format allows unifying the basic information technologies of their processing and achieving good scalability with an increase in the amount of data processed.
In future, distributed representations will naturally combine information on structure and semantics to create computationally efficient and qualitatively new information technologies in which the processing of relational structures from knowledge bases is performed by the similarity of their DRs. The neurobiological relevance of distributed representations opens up the possibility of creating intelligent information technologies based on them that func-tion similarly to the human brain.
Keywords: distributed data representation, random projection, vector similarity estimation, discrete ill-posed problem, regularization.
