Spaced Repetition Systems Have Gotten Way Better

Having recently read Bernoulli’s Fallacy by Aubrey Clayton, I wonder: where are the Bayesian approaches for spaced repetition? (Clayton pulls no punches and argues at length against the many flaws of frequentist approaches and their misinterpretations.)

So far, I’ve only found Ebisu : https://fasiha.github.io/ebisu/ “Behind these two simple functions, Ebisu is using a simple yet powerful model of forgetting, a model that is founded on Bayesian statistics and exponential forgetting.”

The Ebisu page (above) also refers to “Predicting the Optimal Spacing of Study: A Multiscale Context Model of Memory” by Mozer, Pashler, Cepeda, Lindsey & Vul : https://home.cs.colorado.edu/~mozer/Research/Selected%20Publications/reprints/MozerPashlerCepedaLindseyVul2009.pdf
