No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Diffusion models have become strong priors for solving inverse problems. However, nonlinear inverse problems such as phase retrieval remain challenging when multiple measurement-consistent solutions are distinguishable only by the prior; we call such measurements ambiguous. Existing diffusion-based samplers rely on local approximations during reconstruction. For an ambiguous measurement, these approximations can allow measurement guidance to favor a measurement-consistent mode that is close to a prior-supported mode but is itself not supported by the prior. Evaluation often masks this type of failure by reporting the best-of-$k$ runs, where the best is selected by comparison to the ground truth. We introduce Prior-Consistent DAPS (PC-DAPS), a variant of Decoupled Annealing Posterior Sampling (DAPS) designed to address this failure case by maintaining multiple candidate solutions within a single sampling run. As annealing noise decreases, PC-DAPS prunes and replaces weaker candidates according to their prior consistency, without any ground-truth access. PC-DAPS reduces the incidence of prior-inconsistent samples and improves sample quality on nonlinear inverse problems while preserving sample quality and diversity on linear inverse problems.
