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.

A Posterior-Dynamics Framework for Imaging Inverse Problems with Pretrained Diffusion Priors
The paper introduces a Posterior‑Dynamics Framework that leverages pretrained diffusion models as multiscale priors for linear imaging inverse problems such as deblurring, super‑resolution, and inpainting. By constructing a surrogate likelihood centered on the clean image and incorporating diffusion uncertainty, the authors derive continuous posterior dynamics and a tunable Langevin component for adaptive exploration. They prove theoretical guarantees (endpoint consistency, finite‑horizon tracking, weak accuracy) and present the PD‑IMEX sampler, which achieves high‑quality reconstructions with only 100 score evaluations and controllable fidelity‑diversity trade‑offs.
