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.

Score-based diffusion models for severely ill-posed problems in diffuse optical tomography
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.
