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.

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.

Inverse Entropic Optimal Transport Solves Semi-supervised Learning via Data Likelihood Maximization

arXiv:2410. 02628v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Learning conditional distributions $\pi^*(\cdot|x)$ is a central problem in machine learning, which is typically approached via supervised methods with paired data $(x,y) \sim \pi^*$.
