The paper introduces MS-Flow, a method that represents a flow-based generative model’s trajectory as a sequence of intermediate latent states instead of a single initial code. By enforcing local flow dynamics and coupling trajectory segments with matching penalties, the approach alternates between updating latent states and ensuring consistency with observed data. This strategy reduces memory usage and improves reconstruction quality on tasks such as image inpainting, super‑resolution, and computed tomography.

FlowSGS introduces a flow-based posterior sampling method that combines Split Gibbs Sampling (SGS) with Langevin dynamics for the likelihood step and Stochastic Interpolants (SI) for the prior step. By integrating a pretrained flow model into the prior step via SI's reverse-time SDE and a novel timestep correction, FlowSGS reduces the number of network evaluations compared to plug‑and‑play diffusion samplers. Experiments demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art performance on various inverse problems, including the first flow‑based solution to a nonlinear inverse problem (Fourier phase retrieval).

The paper introduces PiX-MC, a time‑parallel posterior sampling framework that combines proximal Langevin dynamics with Picard iteration for Bayesian imaging inverse problems. By leveraging efficient proximal operators for many imaging likelihoods and exploiting parallelism across discretization nodes, PiX-MC supports multi‑GPU implementation and includes multi‑block and annealed variants to enhance scalability. Experiments on various imaging tasks, including a large‑scale sparse‑view CT problem, show that PiX‑MC can reduce runtime by up to 50× while maintaining reconstruction quality.
