arXiv:2608. 03929v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Aligning diffusion models with human preferences usually relies on a sparse terminal reward evaluated on the final generated samples, presenting a severe temporal credit-assignment challenge across the multi-step denoising process.

arXiv:2604. 17415v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reward-based fine-tuning steers a pretrained diffusion or flow-based generative model toward higher-reward samples while remaining close to the pretrained model.

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