Optimal Recovery Meets Bayesian Learning: Where Worst-Case Bounds Pay Off

The paper shows that Worst‑Case Optimal Recovery (OR) and Bayesian learning solve the same Gaussian‑quadratic‑Hilbert problems, linking the radius of information to a nugget‑optimized Gaussian process posterior variance. It evaluates three Bayesian systems, demonstrating that OR can outperform Bayesian methods in certain calibration and reproducibility metrics, yet split‑conformal and other approaches can beat OR in interval scoring, especially under covariate shift. The authors propose matching the guarantee tool to the data regime and auditing that regime first.

FB-GDM: Fully-Bayesian Guided Diffusion Models for High-Dimensional Linear Inverse Problems via Unsupervised Variational Inference

FB‑GDM is a fully‑Bayesian guided diffusion method that eliminates the need for task‑specific hyperparameter tuning in linear inverse problems. It derives a closed‑form conditional score from a Gaussian approximation of ΦGDM, treating two precision parameters as latent variables inferred via variational inference at each reverse step. Experiments on CelebA‑HQ show that FB‑GDM outperforms ΦGDM at its nominal setting, matches a ground‑truth‑calibrated oracle within 0.1 dB, and remains robust to changes in the forward operator, noise level, or image distribution without hallucinations.
