A Gibbs posterior sampler for inverse problem based on prior diffusion model

arXiv:2602.11059v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper addresses the issue of inversion in cases where (1) the observation system is modeled by a linear transformation and additive error, (2) the problem is ill-posed and regularization relies on a Bayesian strategy, (3)~the prior is modeled by a diffusion process adjusted on an available large set of examples. In this context, it is known that the issue of posterior sampling is a thorny one and the paper introduces a Gibbs algorithm. It appears that this avenue has not been explored, and we show that it is particularly effective

Why this matters
Why now

The paper introduces a novel Gibbs algorithm for posterior sampling in inverse problems with diffusion-model priors, addressing a current 'thorny issue' in Bayesian statistical modeling.

Why it’s important

This contributes to the theoretical and practical foundations of AI, potentially enabling more robust and efficient solutions for complex inverse problems relevant across scientific and engineering domains.

What changes

A new method for tackling ill-posed inverse problems using diffusion models and MCMC sampling is introduced, potentially improving the accuracy and feasibility of previous approaches.
