ABSTRACT:
Preferred embodiments include encoders and encoding methods for encoding integers as sparse binary vectors as used in neural networks. The encoding is by position of nonzero components; such as for N component vectors, the integer n is represented by a sequence of n components equal to zero followed by a sequence of log.sub.2 N components equal to one and then a sequence of N-n-log.sub.2 N components equal to zero. Other preferred embodiments include permutations of vector components while retaining the same number of nonzero components and also with partitioning into more and less significant subvectors.
