• Abstract: This paper studies the problem of learning a joint distribution from marginal observations, which is inherently ill-posed due to the ambiguity of feasible couplings. We propose LUD-MSR, a latent-variable probabilistic framework that models the joint distribution via auxiliary representations and optimizes evidence lower bounds using only marginal data. Under mild assumptions, we establish an upper bound on the distribution approximation error. This analysis reveals a trade-off in representation learning between domain consistency and information preservation. To address this trade-off, we introduce a Multi-Scale image Representation (MSR) mapping that exploits structural similarity at coarse scales while suppressing domain-specific variations. We show that MSR achieves a more favorable balance of this trade-off compared to existing approaches. Experiments on real-world denoising benchmarks, including cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework.

  We show that out-of-distribution performance is strongly correlated with in-distribution performance for a wide range of models and distribution shifts. Specifically, we demonstrate strong correlations between in-distribution and out-of-distribution performance on variants of CIFAR-10 & ImageNet. We also investigate cases where the correlation is weaker, for instance some synthetic distribution shifts from CIFAR-10-C and the tissue classification dataset Camelyon17-WILDS.
