Continuous Adversarial MeanFlow Transfer

Training fast generators on new domains with limited data remains challenging for two reasons. First, adapting a pretrained diffusion or flow model to a new domain leaves its costly multi-step sampling unaddressed, and existing acceleration methods are tied to the source parameterization--$ε$, $x$, $v$, or $u$--leaving heterogeneous pretrained models with no common acceleration target.

Training-Free Refinement of Flow Matching with Divergence-based Sampling

The paper introduces Flow Divergence Sampler (FDS), a training‑free method that refines intermediate states in flow‑matching models by using the divergence of the marginal velocity field to detect and correct misguidance toward low‑density regions. FDS operates during inference, requires no additional training, and can be applied as a plug‑and‑play module with standard solvers and existing flow backbones. Experiments show that FDS consistently improves fidelity in tasks such as text‑to‑image synthesis and inverse problems.

Self-Consistent Flow: Unifying Velocity and Endpoint Prediction for Rectified Flow Models

In rectified-flow-based generative models, the neural network can be trained to predict two different targets, such as the instantaneous velocity or the data endpoint, to perform denoising. Although prior work shows that these parameterizations lead to different empirical behaviors, the mechanisms underlying their respective advantages remain to be underexplored, and how to combine them effectively is still unclear.

Energy-Guided Flow Matching

Pixel-space generative models bypass lossy latent compression, yet necessitate joint learning of global structure and fine-grained details in a high-dimensional space. Standard flow matching interpolates noise toward a fixed clean-image endpoint, leaving the spectral evolution to be learned implicitly.

COFM: Consistent Optimal Transport Flow Matching via Partially Input Convex Neural Networks

The paper introduces COFM, a framework for consistent optimal transport flow matching that uses partially input convex neural networks (PICNN) to parameterize the transport potential. By adding a Hamilton‑Jacobi residual to the training objective, COFM enforces dynamical consistency and supports both one‑step transport and multi‑step ODE sampling without costly inner optimization. Experiments on benchmark datasets show that COFM achieves competitive performance while reducing L^2‑UVP by over 2× and cutting computational time by about 9× compared to state‑of‑the‑art models.
