Spiking networks that perform probabilistic inference have been proposed both as models of cortical computation and as candidates for solving problems in machine learning. However, the evidence for spike-based computation being in any way superior to non-spiking alternatives remains scarce. We propose that short-term synaptic plasticity can provide spiking networks with distinct computational advantages compared to their classical counterparts.
