Structure-Preserving Correction Learning for Sparse Bayesian Inference in Brain Source Imaging

arXiv:2606. 07196v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Classical sparse Type-II Bayesian methods for M/EEG brain imaging support joint estimation of source and noise hyperparameters, but rely on fixed iterative update rules.

Plug-and-Play Diffusion Meets ADMM: Dual-Variable Coupling for Robust Medical Image Reconstruction

arXiv:2602. 23214v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Plug-and-Play diffusion prior (PnPDP) frameworks have emerged as a powerful paradigm for solving imaging inverse problems by treating pretrained generative models as modular priors.

Learning to Replace MCMC in Split-Gibbs Diffusion Posterior Sampling via Deep Unfolding

The paper introduces a learning-based approach to replace the MCMC step in split-Gibbs diffusion posterior sampling. By reformulating both Gibbs updates as Gaussian denoising problems, the method uses ODE diffusion for the prior step with a pretrained denoiser and a lightweight deep-unfolded network for the likelihood step. Experiments on nonlinear phase retrieval show that this alternative reduces likelihood-update cost while maintaining effectiveness compared to MCMC-based split Gibbs.

Progression as Latent Drift: Generative Forecasting of Slow-Evolving Pathologies

The paper introduces Latent Drift, a generative forecasting framework that predicts slow-evolving neurodegenerative disease progression by learning changes in a compressed semantic representation rather than full-resolution anatomy. It addresses two failure modes—identity collapse and continuous interpolation trap—by removing pixel-level identity from the prediction target and applying Finite Scalar Quantization to suppress high-frequency nuisance fluctuations. Experiments on longitudinal 3D brain MRI demonstrate that Latent Drift outperforms diffusion and autoregressive transformer baselines in both generative fidelity and clinically relevant metrics.

Image Reconstruction from Phase with Untrained Neural Priors

The paper introduces a two‑stage, projection‑based framework for reconstructing images from only Fourier phase information, using an image‑specific neural prior alongside Fourier‑phase and spatial‑support constraints. In the first stage, the method alternates between enforcing constraints and updating the neural prior, while the second stage refines phase and support with guaranteed convergence. Experiments on 77 microscopy images show that the best variant achieves a pooled PSNR of 31.41 dB, a mean PSNR of 35.75 dB, and a mean SSIM of 0.9531, improving pooled PSNR by 1.51 dB and reducing pooled MSE by 29.3% compared to a constraint‑only baseline.
