Diffusion Based Unpaired Data Learning for Inverse Problems

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

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.

Principled Design of Diffusion-based Optimizers for Inverse Problems

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.

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.
