PosteriorBench is a new benchmark that evaluates how well generative inverse solvers recover full posterior distributions rather than just a single reconstruction. It tests four physics-based inverse problems—Darcy flow inversion, Poisson source recovery, carbon capture and storage, and light transport material inference—using high-fidelity reference posteriors generated by rejection sampling and MCMC. The benchmark employs five metrics (posterior-mean error, posterior-standard-deviation error, maximum mean discrepancy, sliced Wasserstein distance, and radially averaged power-spectrum error) to assess pointwise accuracy, uncertainty, distributional alignment, and global frequency fidelity, revealing significant distribution-matching gaps in current solvers and highlighting the importance of neural operators, guidance weights, and generation noise for posterior-variance calibration.

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.
