contents Image classification and denoising suffer from complementary issues of lack of robustness or partially ignoring conditioning information. We argue that they can be alleviated by unifying both tasks through a model of the joint probability of (noisy) images and class labels. Classification is performed with a forward pass followed by conditioning. Using the Tweedie-Miyasawa formula, we evaluate the denoising function with the score, which can be computed by marginalization and back-propagation. The training objective is then a combination of cross-entropy loss and denoising score matching loss integrated over noise levels. Numerical experiments on CIFAR-10 and ImageNet show competitive classification and denoising performance compared to reference deep convolutional classifiers/denoisers, and significantly improves efficiency compared to previous joint approaches. Our model shows an increased robustness to adversarial perturbations compared to a standard discriminative classifier, and allows for a novel interpretation of adversarial gradients as a difference of denoisers.
