The paper presents a robust covariance estimation method for data that is both entry-wise contaminated and partially observed. It extends the Student‑t* model by using a stochastic approximation EM algorithm that operates on a reduced latent space, avoiding explicit sampling of latent Gaussian variables while maintaining a likelihood‑based framework. Experiments on synthetic and real sensor data demonstrate that this approach achieves lower Fisher‑Rao error than Gaussian, Student‑t, imputation‑based, and detect‑then‑estimate estimators, especially at moderate to high outlier rates under diffuse contamination.

Generative Translation Priors (GTP) is a Bayesian framework that repurposes diffusion-based image-to-image translation models as cross-modality priors for ill‑posed imaging inverse problems. It incorporates target‑domain measurements via likelihood guidance, steering the translation toward the desired posterior distribution. The authors analyze the resulting posterior dynamics, identify an intrinsic bias from likelihood guidance, and propose a ground‑truth‑free metric to estimate this bias, leading to two discretized GTP algorithms that demonstrate high‑fidelity reconstruction in CT and PET imaging using complementary side information.

arXiv:2606. 03074v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion models achieve high-fidelity radio map construction through iterative denoising, yet their sampling cost limits practicality in dynamic wireless systems where radio maps must be refreshed repeatedly.
