Blade: A Derivative-free Bayesian Inversion Method using Diffusion Priors

arXiv:2510.10968v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Derivative-free Bayesian inversion arises in science and engineering applications, particularly when forward model is costly or infeasible to differentiate through. Existing derivative-free methods collapse the posterior to a point estimate or return severely over-confident uncertainty on high-dimensional, nonlinear problems. We introduce Blade, which produces accurate and well-calibrated posteriors using an ensemble of interacting particles. Blade leverages diffusion models as data-driven priors, and only queries the forward model through f…
