Hierarchical data is ubiquitous in the empirical sciences and is most commonly analyzed with generalized linear mixed-effects models (GLMMs). Bayesian inference for GLMMs yields calibrated uncertainty...
The paper introduces the Ensemble-conditioned Inverse Problem (EIP), a multivariate statistical framework for inferring an ensemble that follows the pushforward of a prior through a forward process. It applies to fields such as high‑energy physics, full waveform inversion, and inverse imaging, and proposes non‑iterative inference‑time methods using ensemble inverse generative models that avoid explicit forward model use during inference. The authors demonstrate the approach on synthetic and real datasets and provide code for replication.

The paper introduces PiX-MC, a time‑parallel posterior sampling framework that combines proximal Langevin dynamics with Picard iteration for Bayesian imaging inverse problems. By leveraging efficient proximal operators for many imaging likelihoods and exploiting parallelism across discretization nodes, PiX-MC supports multi‑GPU implementation and includes multi‑block and annealed variants to enhance scalability. Experiments on various imaging tasks, including a large‑scale sparse‑view CT problem, show that PiX‑MC can reduce runtime by up to 50× while maintaining reconstruction quality.

The paper introduces a high‑resolution Rectified Flow Matching model trained on 256×256 chest CT images to serve as a generative prior for CT reconstruction. A two‑stage training strategy—initial strong anatomically informed augmentation followed by fine‑tuning—helps mitigate overfitting and improve structural fidelity. When evaluated on various CT inverse problems, Flow Matching‑based reconstruction methods outperform diffusion‑based algorithms in PSNR, SSIM, and perceptual quality while requiring fewer sampling steps.

SlowFast‑SCI introduces a dual‑speed deep‑unfolding framework for spectral compressive imaging that combines a slow, pre‑trained backbone with a fast, test‑time adaptation stage. The slow phase distills a priors‑based model into a compact fast‑unfolding network, while the fast phase embeds lightweight modules that self‑supervise at test time without retraining the backbone. This design yields significant reductions in parameters and FLOPs, improves out‑of‑distribution PSNR by up to 5.79 dB, and accelerates adaptation four‑fold, all while remaining modular enough to integrate with any existing deep‑unfolding system.

arXiv:2606. 16212v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse-view CT reduces radiation dose and scanning time by acquiring fewer projection views, but angular undersampling makes reconstruction severely ill-posed, causing streak artifacts, structural blurring, and loss of fine details.

Zero-Shot Self-Supervised Learning (ZS-SSL) has emerged as a promising paradigm for accelerated Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) reconstruction, eliminating the reliance on fully-sampled external datasets. However, learning solely from a single under-sampled scan suffers from supervision scarcity and optimization instability, often leading to overfitting or artifacts.
arXiv:2604. 01313v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: High-fidelity simulations and complex inverse problems, such as detector modeling and unfolding, are computationally intensive bottlenecks across subatomic physics, yet essential for accurate physical interpretation.
