Abstract

A solution to the problem of representing compositional structure using distributed representations is described. The method uses circular convolution to associate items, which are represented by vectors . Arbitrary variable bindings, short sequences of various lengths, frames, and reduced representations can be compressed into a fixed width vector . These representations are items in their own right, and can be used in constructing compositional structures . The noisy reconstructions given by convolution memories can be cleaned up by using a separate associative memory that has good reconstructive properties.
