arXiv:2607. 19333v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion-based methods have achieved remarkable empirical success in solving inverse problems.
arXiv:2511. 17038v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: From a Bayesian perspective, score-based diffusion solves inverse problems through joint inference, embedding the likelihood with the prior to guide the sampling process.
arXiv:2606. 17048v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion and flow-based models learn powerful data priors by training a denoiser to reverse Gaussian corruption.
arXiv:2602. 11711v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This article addresses the issue of estimating observation parameters (response and error parameters) in inverse problems.
The paper presents convergence guarantees for Plug-and-Play (PnP) image restoration algorithms that use annealed noise levels, covering both deterministic and stochastic methods. It identifies explicit nonconvex objectives linked to the final denoising level and proves that iterates become asymptotically stationary with respect to these objectives, without requiring a specific noise decay schedule. The authors validate their theory experimentally on tasks such as inpainting, super‑resolution, demosaicing, and tomography.
arXiv:2509.19276v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Solving ill-posed inverse problems requires powerful and flexible priors. We propose leveraging pretrained latent diffusion models for this t...
