Physical-State-Guided Diffusion Sampling for Full-Waveform Inversion

Physical-State-Guided Diffusion Sampling (PSG) couples a persistent physical velocity model to a diffusion prior via a Gaussian bridge, allowing the physical state to be refined by waveform fitting while guiding the reverse diffusion process. This approach separates wave‑equation and denoiser gradients, preserving conventional FWI initialization and optimization history. PSG outperforms classical and diffusion‑based baselines on four OpenFWI families, maintains strong structural recovery under noise, and supports large‑scale models like Marmousi, Overthrust, and BP2004 Salt without retraining.

Energy-based Transport for Amortized Bayesian Inference

arXiv:2605. 15407v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We consider amortized Bayesian inference for nonlinear inverse problems using only samples from the joint distribution of parameters and observations, including problems with unknown functions in a Banach space.
