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.

Score‑based diffusion models excel at inverse problems but suffer from slow inference and task‑specific hyperparameter tuning. This paper introduces principled reparameterizations that create invariances, enabling the reuse of the same hyperparameters across different tasks. Building on the RED‑diff framework, the authors present OptDiff, a streamlined pipeline that integrates convex optimization to accelerate inference, achieving notable speedups and higher image quality in reconstruction, deblurring, and super‑resolution experiments.

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.

Score-based diffusion models, a recent framework for posterior sampling in Bayesian inverse problems, are applied to diffuse optical tomography (DOT), a highly ill‑posed boundary value problem for recovering tissue absorption and scattering. The authors introduce a mixed score that combines a learned component with a model‑based component, providing a theoretical justification for its local approximation to the true score in the small diffusion‑time regime. Four difference‑imaging approaches are compared—classical model‑based, approximate diffusion, exact posterior sampling (UCoS), and a regularized UCoS—showing that UCoS yields more accurate reconstructions, especially under limited‑view geometry and real experimental data.
