New method replaces MCMC in diffusion posterior sampling

Researchers have developed a novel learning-based framework to replace the computationally intensive Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) step in Split Gibbs sampling for diffusion posterior inference. This new method reformulates the Gibbs updates as Gaussian denoising problems, utilizing ODE diffusion and a lightweight deep-unfolded network for the likelihood denoiser. Experiments on nonlinear phase retrieval tasks show that this approach achieves lower likelihood-update costs compared to traditional MCMC-based Split Gibbs methods. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient posterior inference in diffusion models, potentially accelerating applications in signal processing and inverse problems.
