Hallucination-Aware Diffusion Sampling for Inverse Problems via Robust Prior Updates 文章

arXiv:2606.02331v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion-based inverse problem solvers can produce realistic reconstructions, but realism alone does not ensure that the recovered details are supported by the measurement. We study this failure as measurement-conditioned hallucination: visually meaningful content that is either implausible or inconsistent with the measured instance. Our analysis separates Bayes-rule-based diffusion inverse solvers into a prior update and a measurement-conditioning step, showing that hallucinated content can enter through the prior-side proposal before the measurement correction is applied. Motivated by this view, we propose Robust Prior Update (RPU), a solver-level module that probes the local stability of the diffusion prior update, re-anchors the resulting displacement at the current iterate, and leaves the measurement update unchanged.
