ScorePrior#

class deepinv.optim.ScorePrior(denoiser, *args, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: Prior

Score via MMSE denoiser \(\nabla \reg{x}=\left(x-\operatorname{D}_{\sigma}(x)\right)/\sigma^2\).

This approximates the score of a distribution using Tweedie’s formula, i.e.,

\[- \nabla \log p_{\sigma}(x) \propto \left(x-D(x,\sigma)\right)/\sigma^2\]

where \(p_{\sigma} = p*\mathcal{N}(0,I\sigma^2)\) is the prior convolved with a Gaussian kernel, \(D(\cdot,\sigma)\) is a (trained or model-based) denoiser with noise level \(\sigma\), which is typically set to a low value.

Note

If \(\sigma=1\), this prior is equal to deepinv.optim.RED, which is defined in Regularization by Denoising (RED) and doesn’t require the normalization.

Note

This class can also be used with maximum-a-posteriori (MAP) denoisers, but \(p_{\sigma}(x)\) is not given by the convolution with a Gaussian kernel, but rather given by the Moreau-Yosida envelope of \(p(x)\), i.e.,

\[p_{\sigma}(x)=e^{- \inf_z \left(-\log p(z) + \frac{1}{2\sigma}\|x-z\|^2 \right)}.\]
