Discrete Wasserstein Flows for One-Step Generative Modeling

The paper presents a new one‑step generative modeling framework for finite state spaces, leveraging discrete Wasserstein geometry to define a target‑relative KL gradient flow over a reversible Markov kernel. The authors implement this flow at the particle level using Markov jumps and encode the resulting transport updates into a latent‑conditioned generator, enabling one‑step inference after training. Experiments on a controlled setting confirm KL dissipation, consistency between particle dynamics and probability flow, and accurate numerical scaling, while a finite‑capacity neural generator successfully tracks the exact transport targets.

Manifold-Aware Perturbations for Constrained Generative Modeling

The paper introduces a new method for perturbing data distributions in a way that respects equality constraints, allowing generative models to better handle constrained data. By adjusting the distribution while preserving the manifold geometry, the approach ensures support matches the ambient space dimension. Experiments with diffusion models and normalizing flows demonstrate improved data recovery and stable sampling across several tasks.

Expanding Flow Maps

arXiv:2607. 21585v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Flow-based generative models have enabled remarkable progress in fast and controllable generation across continuous and discrete state spaces, yet existing parameterizations are constrained to fixed dimensions or fixed sequence lengths.
