Researchers have introduced Bayesian Sample Inference (BSI), a novel generative modeling approach that views diffusion-like processes through the lens of iterative Gaussian posterior inference. This formulation treats the generated sample as an unknown variable, with each step involving a model prediction and a subsequent posterior belief update. The proposed BSI model is shown to encompass Bayesian Flow Networks (BFNs) and Variational Diffusion Models, representing opposite ends of a spectrum of isotropic hyper-priors. Experimental results on ImageNet32 and ImageNet64 datasets indicate that BSI enhances sample quality compared to BFNs and Variational Diffusion Models, while maintaining equivalent log-likelihoods.
