The Fundamental Limits of Valid Transport Map Estimation

Many modern generative modeling methods, including diffusion models, normalizing flows, and flow matching, estimate transport maps or plans between distributions without explicitly targeting an optimal transport (OT) map. In applications like generative modeling, the transport cost itself is irrelevant, and this makes it natural to target maps which are more tractable from either a statistical or computational standpoint.

Generating Heterogeneous 3D Geological Microstructures from 2D Images via a Stable Diffusion-Adversarial Model

The paper presents a hybrid generative model that combines denoising diffusion and adversarial training to produce 3D geological microstructures from 2D images. It addresses limitations of previous GAN-based methods like SliceGAN, particularly for heterogeneous materials, by replacing the denoising loss with an adversarial loss to achieve stable training. The resulting model generates microstructures with minimal slice artefacts and accurate phase fractions and structural descriptors.

Fortifying Fully Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks for Image Super-Resolution Using Divergence Measures

arXiv:2404. 06294v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Super-Resolution (SR) is a time-hallowed image processing problem that aims to improve the quality of a Low-Resolution (LR) sample up to the standard of its High-Resolution (HR) counterpart.
