Spiking Networks Tackle Bayesian Inference

13.12.2025 by qfx

The research proposes a method to bridge the gap between abstract Bayesian inference-the brain’s hypothesized process of predicting environmental states and updating them with sensory input-and the underlying biological reality of neural dynamics expressed through spiking activity, effectively demonstrating how probabilistic computations can be implemented within the language of the brain.

Researchers demonstrate a new framework for performing probabilistic reasoning with biologically inspired spiking neural networks.

Beyond ChatGPT: Building Assessments That Measure What Students Know

13.12.2025 by qfx

Modular assessments exhibit a strong correlation with interconnected project performance ($r=0.954$), indicating they capture similar underlying skills, yet demonstrate only a moderate predictive power regarding traditional exam results ($r=0.726$), hinting exams may assess distinct competencies or are less vulnerable to artificial inflation of scores.

New research reveals how strategically designed assessments, built around interconnected problems, can effectively evaluate genuine understanding and resist being solved by generative AI.
