Abstract:We propose a novel diffusion-based posterior sampling method within a plug-and-play framework. Our approach constructs a probability transport from an easy-to-sample distribution to the target posterior via a diffusion process. To initialize the sampler efficiently, we introduce a warm-start strategy for the particles. The posterior score is then approximated using a Monte Carlo estimator in which samples are generated via Langevin dynamics, avoiding the heuristic approximations prevalent in prior work. The score function driving the Langevin dynamics is learned from data, enabling the model to capture rich structural features of the underlying prior. We also establish non-asymptotic error bounds in Wasserstein-2 distance guaranteeing convergence of the proposed method even for complex, multimodal posterior distributions. We corroborate our theoretical findings with numerical experiments demonstrating the effectiveness of the method across a variety of inverse problems.
