Stage-wise Distortion-Perception Traversal in Zero-shot Inverse Problems with Diffusion Models
arXiv:2605.28711v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The distortion-perception (D-P) tradeoff is a fundamental phenomenon of Bayesian inverse problems, which characterizes the inherent tension between distortion performance and perceptual quality. Enabling flexible traversal of the D-P tradeoff at inference time is crucial for practical applications. Despite the recent success of diffusion models in zero-shot inverse problem solving, efficient and principled strategies for D-P traversal in diffusion-based inverse algorithms remain inadequately characterized. In this paper, we propose a stage-wise f
This paper addresses an ongoing challenge within the rapidly advancing field of diffusion models in AI, driven by the need for more practical and controllable applications.
Improving the ability to control distortion and perception in zero-shot inverse problems makes diffusion models more robust and valuable for real-world applications across various AI-driven tasks.
Diffusion models become more adaptable and controllable, allowing greater flexibility in balancing fidelity and perceptual quality in tasks like image generation and restoration.
