Deep learning methods for inverse problems using connections between proximal operators and Hamilton-Jacobi equations

The paper proposes a deep learning framework that learns priors for inverse problems by exploiting the relationship between proximal operators and Hamilton–Jacobi partial differential equations. Unlike existing methods that require inverting the prior after training, this approach learns the prior directly, enabling efficient evaluation in a single forward pass. Numerical experiments demonstrate the method’s effectiveness in dimensions up to 64.

A Zeroth-Order Deep Learning Method for Fully Nonlinear Parabolic Partial Differential Equations with Unknown Coefficients

arXiv:2606. 24999v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs) with unknown coefficients arise widely in scientific machine learning, including continuous-time reinforcement learning, yet solving them efficiently in a data-driven way remains challenging.

Active Diffusion-Based Inference for Ill-Posed Inverse Problems under Incomplete Priors

The paper introduces an active diffusion-based inverse problem solver that trains a diffusion model to map between parameter and observable spaces. By iteratively detecting and correcting model misspecification through posterior uncertainty, the method can discover and learn the correct parameter region even when initial training bounds exclude the true parameters. The authors demonstrate the solver on a toy inverse problem with infinite solutions and on parameterizing quantum correlation functions for a Quantum Chromodynamics analysis of nucleon structure.

Diffusion Based Unpaired Data Learning for Inverse Problems

The paper introduces LUD-DIF, a diffusion-based method that solves inverse problems using unpaired data. By deriving the evidence lower bound of the joint distribution and decoupling it into two independent diffusion processes under a weak‑coupling assumption, the authors provide a variational inference framework, a loss function, and an error‑bound analysis. Experiments show that LUD‑DIF performs well across multiple image inverse problems, demonstrating its effectiveness and generalization in unpaired settings.
