A computational framework for linear inverse problems via the maximum entropy on the mean method Abstract:We present a framework for solving linear inverse problems that is computationally tractable and has mathematical certificates. To this end, we interpret the ground truth of a linear inverse problem as a random vector with unknown distribution.
