Brain-inspired chaotic spiking backpropagation

Since it was discovered in the 1980s that learning in the rabbit brain utilizes chaos, this nonlinear and initially value-sensitive dynamical behavior has been increasingly recognized as integral to brain learning.

New mitigation framework reduces bias in classification outcomes

We use computers to help us make (hopefully) unbiased decisions. The problem is that machine-learning algorithms do not always make fair classifications if human bias is embedded in the data used to train them—which is ...
