contents Diffusion models have emerged as powerful generative techniques for solving inverse problems. Despite their success in a variety of inverse problems in imaging, these models require many steps to converge, leading to slow inference time. Recently, there has been a trend in diffusion models for employing sophisticated noise schedules that involve more frequent iterations of timesteps at lower noise levels, thereby improving image generation and convergence speed. However, application of these ideas for solving inverse problems with diffusion models remain challenging, as these noise schedules do not perform well when using empirical tuning for the forward model log-likelihood term weights. To tackle these challenges, we propose zero-shot approximate posterior sampling (ZAPS) that leverages connections to zero-shot physics-driven deep learning. ZAPS fixes the number of sampling steps, and uses zero-shot training with a physics-guided loss function to learn log-likelihood weights at each irregular timestep. We apply ZAPS to the recently proposed diffusion posterior sampling method as baseline, though ZAPS can also be used with other posterior sampling diffusion models. We further approximate the Hessian of the logarithm of the prior using a diagonalization approach with learnable diagonal entries for computational efficiency. These parameters are optimized over a fixed number of epochs with a given computational budget. Our results for various noisy inverse problems, including Gaussian and motion deblurring, inpainting, and super-resolution show that ZAPS reduces inference time, provides robustness to irregular noise schedules and improves reconstruction quality.
