Sample-efficient evidence estimation of score based priors for model selection

ArXi:2602.20549v2 Announce Type: replace The choice of prior is central to solving ill-posed imaging inverse problems, making it essential to select one consistent with the measurements $y$ to avoid severe bias. In Bayesian inverse problems, this could be achieved by evaluating the model evidence $p(y \mid M)$ under different models $M$ that specify the prior and then selecting the one with the highest value.
