Guidance Without Labels: Flow Matching from Coupled Gaussian Mixtures

Stanislas Ducotterd, Bassam El Rawas, Michael Unser

Flow matching models are typically trained to transport a Gaussian source to the data distribution, with source and target samples paired independently. We replace the source with…

Flower: A Flow-Matching Solver for Inverse Problems

Mehrsa Pourya, Bassam El Rawas, Michael Unser

We introduce Flower, a solver for linear inverse problems. It leverages a pre-trained flow model to produce reconstructions that are consistent with the observed measurements. Flow…

Multivariate Fields of Experts for Convergent Image Reconstruction

Stanislas Ducotterd, Michael Unser

We introduce the multivariate fields of experts, a new framework for the learning of image priors. Our model generalizes existing fields of experts methods by incorporating multiva…

Universal Architectures for the Learning of Polyhedral Norms and Convex Regularizers

Michael Unser, Stanislas Ducotterd

This paper addresses the task of learning convex regularizers to guide the reconstruction of images from limited data. By imposing that the reconstruction be amplitude-equivariant,…

DEALing with Image Reconstruction: Deep Attentive Least Squares

Mehrsa Pourya, Erich Kobler, Michael Unser +1

State-of-the-art image reconstruction often relies on complex, highly parameterized deep architectures. We propose an alternative: a data-driven reconstruction method inspired by t…

Comparison of 2D Regular Lattices for the CPWL Approximation of Functions

Mehrsa Pourya, Maïka Nogarotto, Michael Unser

We investigate the approximation error of functions with continuous and piecewise-linear (CPWL) representations. We focus on the CPWL search spaces generated by translates of box s…

Learning of Patch-Based Smooth-Plus-Sparse Models for Image Reconstruction

Stanislas Ducotterd, Sebastian Neumayer, Michael Unser

We aim at the solution of inverse problems in imaging, by combining a penalized sparse representation of image patches with an unconstrained smooth one. This allows for a straightf…

Parseval Convolution Operators and Neural Networks

Michael Unser, Stanislas Ducotterd

We first establish a kernel theorem that characterizes all linear shift-invariant (LSI) operators acting on discrete multicomponent signals. This result naturally leads to the iden…

Controlled Learning of Pointwise Nonlinearities in Neural-Network-Like Architectures

Michael Unser, Alexis Goujon, Stanislas Ducotterd

We present a general variational framework for the training of freeform nonlinearities in layered computational architectures subject to some slope constraints. The regularization…

Iteratively Refined Image Reconstruction with Learned Attentive Regularizers

Mehrsa Pourya, Sebastian Neumayer, Michael Unser

We propose a regularization scheme for image reconstruction that leverages the power of deep learning while hinging on classic sparsity-promoting models. Many deep-learning-based m…

Self-Calibrated Variance-Stabilizing Transformations for Real-World Image Denoising

Sébastien Herbreteau, Michael Unser

Supervised deep learning has become the method of choice for image denoising. It involves the training of neural networks on large datasets composed of pairs of noisy and clean ima…
