Combinatorial optimization (CO) problems have widespread applications in science and engineering, but they present significant computational challenges. Recent advancements in generative models, particularly diffusion models, have shown promise in bypassing traditional optimization solvers by direct
Pretrained diffusion models (DMs) have recently been popularly used in solving inverse problems (IPs). The existing methods mostly interleave iterative steps in the reverse diffusion process and iterative steps to bring the iterates closer to satisfying the measurement constraint. However, such inte…
Demosaicing and denoising of RAW images are crucial steps in the image signal processing pipeline of modern digital cameras. As only a third of the color information required to produce a digital image is captured by the camera sensor, the process of demosaicing is inherently ill-posed. The presence…
Deep image prior (DIP) has shown great promise in tackling a variety of image restoration (IR) and general visual inverse problems, needing no training data. However, the resulting optimization process is often very slow, inevitably hindering DIP's practical usage for time-sensitive scenarios. In th…
Deep image prior (DIP) has shown great promise in tackling a range of image restoration problems. However, its optimization is extremely sluggish, which inevitability hinders its practical usage when there are hard time constraints. To mitigate this issue, we propose a more compact and efficient mod…
Robust PCA is a standard tool for learning a linear subspace in the presence of sparse corruption or rare outliers. What about robustly learning manifolds that are more realistic models for natural data, such as images? There have been several recent attempts to generalize robust PCA to manifold set…
