Time series generation with spectrally aligned latent flow matching
The paper introduces a spectrally-aligned latent-flow model for time‑series generation that trains the latent space to preserve dynamical properties relevant to synthetic data quality. By incorporating fine‑tuning losses based on Fourier, wavelet, and signature transforms, the method mitigates spectral mismatches caused by latent compression and ensures alignment with true signals in terms of smoothness and targeted spectral content. Experiments on real‑world long‑range univariate and multivariate benchmarks show that the aligned model outperforms a base latent‑flow model and state‑of‑the‑art approaches in signal realism, computational efficiency, and local structure alignment.

Training Flow Matching: The Role of Weighting and Parameterization
The paper investigates training objectives for denoising-based generative models, focusing on loss weighting and output parameterization such as noise-, clean image-, and velocity-based formulations. It conducts a systematic numerical study across synthetic datasets with controlled geometry and real image data, evaluating denoising accuracy via PSNR and generative quality via FID. The goal is to disentangle how training choices interact with data manifold dimensionality, model architecture, and dataset size, offering practical design insights rather than proposing a new method.

CAT-Flow: Curvature-Adaptive sTeps for Flow Matching
The paper introduces CAT-Flow, a pair of lightweight, training‑free algorithms—CAT‑OV and CAT‑OT—that adapt step‑sizes during Flow Matching inference by estimating curvature in time or state space. These methods avoid extra neural evaluations and achieve constant‑order truncation error bounds. Experiments show that CAT‑OV and CAT‑OT improve image quality metrics across four text‑to‑image Flow Matching models, cutting the required generation steps by up to 40%.

ProtoFlow: Prototype-Guided Flow Matching for Multivariate Time Series Forecasting
ProtoFlow is a new multivariate time series forecasting framework that combines vector‑quantized autoencoding with prototype‑guided flow matching. It maps sequences into a discrete latent space, constructs a structured prior from the learned VQ codebook, and trains a DiT‑based rectified flow to transport samples from this prior to future latent representations conditioned on past observations. By replacing generic Gaussian noise with a learned prototype prior, ProtoFlow eliminates autoregressive rollout mismatch and achieves faster training convergence while delivering superior forecasting performance on benchmark datasets.
