Scale-Consistent Posterior Dynamics for Diffusion Inverse Problems
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.15144v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Posterior sampling with a pretrained diffusion prior is governed by a conditional score whose intermediate likelihood component is generally intractable. We begin from an ideal one-parameter posterior SDE family in which a stochasticity parameter controls probability-flow transport and stochastic exploration without changing the posterior marginals. To obtain a tractable model, we express the likelihood in a rescaled clean-image coordinate and use log-SNR to organize the resulting posterior proxies. Projecting the diffusion uncertainty through
