• Abstract: Deep generative models have emerged as state-of-the-art for solving inverse problems, but applying them to inverse problems for PDEs, like electrical impedance tomography (EIT) remains challenging. Because physical domains are naturally discretized as unstructured meshes rather than regular grids, standard convolutional architectures are often inadequate. In this paper, we propose a novel framework that extends diffusion posterior sampling (DPS) to graph-structured data. We develop an unconditional score-based diffusion model directly on a 2D triangular mesh to learn an accurate prior over the physical solution space. Furthermore, we introduce a regularized variant, RDPS, which incorporates explicit regularization terms, such as total variation and generalized Tikhonov, to complement the implicit diffusion prior and mitigate severe ill-posedness. Extensive experiments on synthetic and real 2D EIT datasets demonstrate that RDPS produces stable, physically plausible reconstructions. Our approach generalizes well to out-of-distribution inclusion geometries, is highly robust to measurement noise, and outperforms current state-of-the-art solvers (e.g., GPnP-BM3D, DP-SGS) in reconstruction accuracy and artifact reduction.

  We propose a novel and efficient diffusion sampling strategy that synergistically combines the diffusion sampling and Krylov subspace methods. Specifically, we prove that if tangent space at a denoised sample by Tweedie's formula forms a Krylov subspace, then the CG with the denoised data ensures the data consistency update to remain in the tangent space. Our proposed method achieves more than 80 times faster inference time than the previous state-of-the-art method.
