On the Diffusibility of High-Dimensional Latents

The paper investigates how fine‑tuning pretrained visual encoders for faithful image reconstruction affects diffusion models that operate in the resulting latent space. It finds that such fine‑tuning reduces the effective dimensionality of the latent representation, causing standard velocity‑prediction flow‑matching to fit noise outside the low‑dimensional signal manifold and making optimization inefficient. Consequently, the authors propose using a clean‑data ($oldsymbol{x}_{0}$) parameterization, which focuses learning on the signal manifold and consistently improves text‑to‑image generation across multiple strong‑reconstruction encoders.

Intrinsic-Hybrid Latent Diffusion Models for Generative Modeling on Unknown Manifolds

We introduce the Intrinsic Hybrid Latent Diffusion Model (ILDM), a generative framework that integrates probabilistic dimensionality reduction with geometry-aware diffusion on unknown manifolds. While diffusion models (DMs) have achieved state-of-the-art results in high-dimensional data synthesis, they rely on large training datasets and ignore intrinsic geometric structure.

Physics-Guided Flow Matching for CT Image Reconstruction

The paper introduces a high‑resolution Rectified Flow Matching model trained on 256×256 chest CT images to serve as a generative prior for CT reconstruction. A two‑stage training strategy—initial strong anatomically informed augmentation followed by fine‑tuning—helps mitigate overfitting and improve structural fidelity. When evaluated on various CT inverse problems, Flow Matching‑based reconstruction methods outperform diffusion‑based algorithms in PSNR, SSIM, and perceptual quality while requiring fewer sampling steps.

RW-Flow: One-Step Generation on Compact Manifolds via Wasserstein Gradient Flows

RW-Flow presents a new one‑step generative framework for data on compact manifolds, leveraging Wasserstein gradient flows. The authors derive a necessary and sufficient identifiability condition for velocity fields on compact, connected Riemannian manifolds, showing that a symmetric, Lipschitz‑continuous cost function yields identifiability iff its Gibbs kernel is nondegenerate. Experiments on geospatial events, protein and RNA torsion angles, and discretized manifolds demonstrate that RW‑Flow surpasses existing one‑step methods across most benchmark settings.
