EquiReg: Equivariance Regularized Diffusion for Inverse Problems
Quick summary
arXiv:2505.22973v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion models represent the state-of-the-art for solving inverse problems such as image restoration tasks. Diffusion-based inverse solvers incorporate a likelihood term to guide prior sampling, generating data consistent with the posterior distribution. However, due to the intractability of the likelihood, most methods rely on isotropic Gaussian approximations, which can push estimates off the data manifold and produce inconsistent, poor reconstructions. We propose Equivariance Regularized (EquiReg) diffusion, a general plug-in frame
