New method estimates diffusion model evidence for inverse imaging problems

Researchers have developed DiME, a novel method for estimating model evidence in Bayesian inverse problems, specifically addressing the challenges posed by diffusion priors. This technique efficiently computes the model evidence by integrating over time-marginals of posterior samples, requiring only a small number of samples (around 20). DiME has been shown to accurately select appropriate diffusion model priors and identify prior misfits in complex, ill-conditioned inverse problems, including a real-world application in black hole imaging.

    Sample-efficient evidence estimation of score based priors for model selection

    arXiv:2602.20549v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The choice of prior is central to solving ill-posed imaging inverse problems, making it essential to select one consistent with the measurements $y$ to avoid severe bias. In Bayesian inverse problems, this could be achieve…
