Generative models have undergone many generations of evolution, from VAEs/GANs to diffusion/flow matching. Along the way, the underlying techniques have become more complicated and various beliefs about what drives strong empirical performance have taken hold.

The paper introduces Probability‑Flow Distillation (PFD), a new method for matching parameter distributions in diffusion‑based models. It extends the particle variational inference framework of Variational Score Distillation to Score Distillation Sampling (SDS) and Score Distillation via Inversion (SDI), revealing that SDS focuses on mode collapse while SDI converges to a contracted distribution. By replacing a single Euler step in SDI with a full reverse probability‑flow ODE solve and simplifying the gradient, PFD achieves distribution matching with only a forward ODE solve, and experiments on synthetic data, CelebA, and text‑to‑3D tasks confirm its effectiveness.

The paper presents a method that combines flow‑matching models with energy‑based modeling to explicitly construct scalar energy functions for physical fields. These energies are derived from a matching regression objective on a linear Gaussian interpolation, avoiding variational approximations or extra MCMC steps, and can be used for energy‑corrected data generation, out‑of‑distribution detection, and posterior sampling in inverse problems. The approach enables general MCMC samplers that reduce PDE residuals and spectral distance, and it demonstrates that combining data‑driven and physics‑based energies improves OOD detection accuracy.
