arXiv:2605.26147v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human decision-making is sequential and uncertainty-aware, yet standard neural networks often rely on static, dense forward computation with limited visibility into evidence acquisition, uncertainty evolution, or when computation should stop. We introduce \textbf{Neural Bayesian Sequential Routing (NBSR)}, a framework that models neural inference as active evidence accumulation over a hierarchical Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). Within a Dirichlet--Categorical conjugate framework, neural experts query a persistent global knowledge oracle to extract
The continuous drive for more efficient, human-like, and uncertainty-aware AI systems motivates research into novel neural network architectures.
This research introduces a framework that could lead to more robust, interpretable, and resource-efficient AI, particularly valuable for critical decision-making applications.
Neural networks could evolve from static, dense computations to more dynamic, evidence-driven, and uncertainty-aware inference models, mimicking human decision processes more closely.
