Provable diffusion-based posterior sampling for linear inverse problems via DDIM

Research Multimodal & Generative

Merged summary

TL;DR - PDDIM is an efficient DDIM-based posterior sampler for noisy linear inverse problems that makes coordinate-wise updates informed by the measurement operator. It offers provable convergence to the Bayesian posterior and strong image-restoration performance.

  • Samples independently along the measurement operator’s singular directions.
  • Switches between the learned diffusion prior and a calibrated measurement predictor based on relative SNR.
  • Requires only lightweight modifications to standard DDIM updates.
  • Outperforms existing diffusion posterior samplers on most evaluated image-restoration metrics.
