A Differentiable Neural Surrogate for Photon Propagation in Neutrino Telescopes

Felix J. Yu, Berthy T. Feng, Nicholas Kamp +1

Large-volume neutrino telescopes infer neutrino properties from Cherenkov light, but simulating the transport of billions of photons through highly scattering ice or water is compu…

U-DAVI: Uncertainty-Aware Diffusion-Prior-Based Amortized Variational Inference for Image Reconstruction

Ayush Varshney, Katherine L. Bouman, Berthy T. Feng

Ill-posed imaging inverse problems remain challenging due to the ambiguity in mapping degraded observations to clean images. Diffusion-based generative priors have recently shown p…

Dynamic Black-hole Emission Tomography with Physics-informed Neural Fields

Berthy T. Feng, Andrew A. Chael, David Bromley +3

With the success of static black-hole imaging, the next frontier is the dynamic and 3D imaging of black holes. Recovering the dynamic 3D gas near a black hole would reveal previous…

Position-Blind Ptychography: Viability of image reconstruction via data-driven variational inference

Simon Welker, Lorenz Kuger, Tim Roith +4

In this work, we present and investigate the novel blind inverse problem of position-blind ptychography, i.e., ptychographic phase retrieval without any knowledge of scan positions…

Visual Surface Wave Elastography: Revealing Subsurface Physical Properties via Visible Surface Waves

Alexander C. Ogren, Berthy T. Feng, Jihoon Ahn +2

Wave propagation on the surface of a material contains information about physical properties beneath its surface. We propose a method for inferring the thickness and stiffness of a…

Teaching Humans Subtle Differences with DIFFusion

Mia Chiquier, Orr Avrech, Yossi Gandelsman +3

Scientific expertise often requires recognizing subtle visual differences that remain challenging to articulate even for domain experts. We present a system that leverages generati…

STeP: A Framework for Solving Scientific Video Inverse Problems with Spatiotemporal Diffusion Priors

Bingliang Zhang, Zihui Wu, Berthy T. Feng +3

Reconstructing spatially and temporally coherent videos from time-varying measurements is a fundamental challenge in many scientific domains. A major difficulty arises from the spa…

InverseBench: Benchmarking Plug-and-Play Diffusion Priors for Inverse Problems in Physical Sciences

Hongkai Zheng, Wenda Chu, Bingliang Zhang +9

Plug-and-play diffusion priors (PnPDP) have emerged as a promising research direction for solving inverse problems. However, current studies primarily focus on natural image restor…

Neural Approximate Mirror Maps for Constrained Diffusion Models

Berthy T. Feng, Ricardo Baptista, Katherine L. Bouman

Diffusion models excel at creating visually-convincing images, but they often struggle to meet subtle constraints inherent in the training data. Such constraints could be physics-b…

Event-horizon-scale Imaging of M87* under Different Assumptions via Deep Generative Image Priors

Berthy T. Feng, Katherine L. Bouman, William T. Freeman

Reconstructing images from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations of M87*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87, depends on a prior to impose desired…

Score-Based Diffusion Models for Photoacoustic Tomography Image Reconstruction

Sreemanti Dey, Snigdha Saha, Berthy T. Feng +5

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a rapidly-evolving medical imaging modality that combines optical absorption contrast with ultrasound imaging depth. One challenge in PAT is image…

Provable Probabilistic Imaging using Score-Based Generative Priors

Yu Sun, Zihui Wu, Yifan Chen +2

Estimating high-quality images while also quantifying their uncertainty are two desired features in an image reconstruction algorithm for solving ill-posed inverse problems. In thi…

Variational Bayesian Imaging with an Efficient Surrogate Score-based Prior

Berthy T. Feng, Katherine L. Bouman

We propose a surrogate function for efficient yet principled use of score-based priors in Bayesian imaging. We consider ill-posed inverse imaging problems in which one aims for a c…

Score-Based Diffusion Models as Principled Priors for Inverse Imaging

Berthy T. Feng, Jamie Smith, Michael Rubinstein +3

Priors are essential for reconstructing images from noisy and/or incomplete measurements. The choice of the prior determines both the quality and uncertainty of recovered images. W…

Visual Vibration Tomography: Estimating Interior Material Properties from Monocular Video

Berthy T. Feng, Alexander C. Ogren, Chiara Daraio +1

An object's interior material properties, while invisible to the human eye, determine motion observed on its surface. We propose an approach that estimates heterogeneous material p…

Towards Unique and Informative Captioning of Images

Zeyu Wang, Berthy Feng, Karthik Narasimhan +1

Despite considerable progress, state of the art image captioning models produce generic captions, leaving out important image details. Furthermore, these systems may even misrepres…
