arXiv:2601. 23231v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Flow-based generative models provide strong unconditional priors for inverse problems, but guiding their dynamics for conditional generation remains challenging.

arXiv:2602. 20360v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Flow-based generative methods offer a simple and effective framework for high-fidelity generation, yet pretrained flow models are rarely used in their vanilla conditional form: in image generation, samples without guidance often appear diffuse and lack fine-grained detail.

arXiv:2604. 27147v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In generative modeling, we often wish to produce samples that maximize a user-specified reward such as aesthetic quality or alignment with human preferences, a problem known as \textit{guidance}.

arXiv:2606. 06303v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Controllable generation with discrete diffusion models is often hindered by high computational overhead or the need for retraining.

arXiv:2510. 17136v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The generation of high-quality, diverse, and prompt-aligned images is a central goal in image-generating diffusion models.

arXiv:2607. 27372v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The deep learning revolution, kicked off by AlexNet, taught us that end-to-end training beats decomposing a problem into hand-designed stages.

arXiv:2607. 14272v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Flow matching has emerged as an effective framework for learning complex data distributions, but adapting pretrained flow models to new tasks often requires computationally expensive retraining.

arXiv:2607. 26398v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion and flow-based models benefit from simple regression losses, but inference incurs significant overhead because sampling requires integration.

arXiv:2602. 21565v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) learn to sample diverse candidates in proportion to a reward function, making them well-suited for scientific discovery, where exploring multiple promising solutions is crucial.

arXiv:2606. 30376v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Aligning generative flow models on continuous spaces via online reinforcement learning is constrained by intractable trajectory likelihoods.

arXiv:2606. 08672v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion and flow generative models sample by integrating a learned ODE, but high quality still requires many sequential model evaluations.

arXiv:2606. 11277v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reliable extrapolation remains a central challenge for generative models in computational physics, because models trained over finite ranges of time, parameters, or geometries may produce physically inconsistent predictions outside the training distribution.
