• Abstract: Uncertainty quantification provides quantitative measures on the reliability of candidate solutions of ill-posed inverse problems. Due to their sequential nature, Monte Carlo sampling methods require large numbers of sampling steps for accurate Bayesian inference and are often computationally infeasible for large-scale inverse problems, such as seismic imaging. Our main contribution is a data-driven variational inference approach where we train a normalizing flow (NF), a type of invertible neural net, capable of cheaply sampling the posterior distribution given previously unseen seismic data from neighboring surveys. To arrive at this result, we train the NF on pairs of low- and high-fidelity migrated images. In our numerical example, we obtain high-fidelity images from the Parihaka dataset and low-fidelity images are derived from these images through the process of demigration, followed by adding noise and migration. During inference, given shot records from a new neighboring seismic survey, we first compute the reverse-time migration image. Next, by feeding this low-fidelity migrated image to the NF we gain access to samples from the posterior distribution virtually for free. We use these samples to compute a high-fidelity image including a first assessment of the image's reliability. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to train a conditional network on what we know from neighboring images to improve the current image and assess its reliability.

• Enhancing Diffusion Posterior Sampling for Inverse Problems by Integrating Crafted Measurements [45.70011319850862]
  Diffusion models have emerged as a powerful foundation model for visual generation. Current posterior sampling based methods take the measurement into the posterior sampling to infer the distribution of the target data. We show that high-frequency information can be prematurely introduced during the early stages, which could induce larger posterior estimate errors. We propose a novel diffusion posterior sampling method DPS-CM, which incorporates a Crafted Measurement.

  Ambient Diffusion Posterior Sampling (A-DPS) is a generative model pre-trained on one type of corruption.

We extend the Ambient Diffusion framework to train MRI models with access only to Fourier subsampled multi-coil MRI measurements.

• Deep Equilibrium Diffusion Restoration with Parallel Sampling [120.15039525209106]
  Diffusion model-based image restoration (IR) aims to use diffusion models to recover high-quality (HQ) images from degraded images, achieving promising performance. Most existing methods need long serial sampling chains to restore HQ images step-by-step, resulting in expensive sampling time and high computation costs. In this work, we aim to rethink the diffusion model-based IR models through a different perspective, i.e., a deep equilibrium (DEQ) fixed point system, called DeqIR.
