contents Recovering signals from low-order moments is a fundamental yet notoriously difficult task in inverse problems. This recovery process often reduces to solving ill-conditioned systems of polynomial equations. In this work, we propose a new framework that integrates score-based diffusion priors with moment-based estimators to regularize and solve these nonlinear inverse problems. This introduces a new role for generative models: stabilizing polynomial recovery from noisy statistical features. As a concrete application, we study the multi-target detection (MTD) model in the high-noise regime. We demonstrate two main results: (i) diffusion priors substantially improve recovery from third-order moments, and (ii) they make the super-resolution MTD problem, otherwise ill-posed, feasible. Numerical experiments on MNIST data confirm consistent gains in reconstruction accuracy across SNR levels. Our results suggest a promising new direction for combining generative priors with nonlinear polynomial inverse problems.
