Uncorrected Gaussian residual penalties in full-space sampling converge after marginalization to the graph-lifted reduced posterior multiplied by the inverse absolute determinant of the state Jacobian, requiring explicit determinant corrections for equivalence.
Predictive coding equals proximal gradient descent on MAP problems, with priors setting nonlinearities via proximal operators and yielding leaky firing-rate networks plus hierarchical MRFs.
Neural networks can be parametrized to compute exact proximal operators that are provably equivariant to affine transformations, yielding better out-of-distribution performance on inverse problems.
A novel optimization algorithm reconstructs 3D refractive index in reflection-mode microscopy by exploiting multiply-scattered waves from uncontrolled background structures, using weighted time loss, positivity constraints, and total variation regularization, validated on simulations.
