arXiv:2605. 02961v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Most modern bridge-diffusion methods achieve finite-time transport by specifying an interpolation, Schrodinger-bridge, or stochastic-control objective and then learning the associated score or drift field with a neural network.

arXiv:2607. 16987v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Over the past few years, diffusion-based Schr\"odinger bridge models have been proposed to approximate optimal transport dynamics between two prescribed boundary distributions, with successful applications to generative modeling.

arXiv:2602. 22265v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Modern vision generators transport a base distribution to data through time-indexed measures, implemented as deterministic flows (ODEs) or stochastic diffusions (SDEs).

arXiv:2608. 02487v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recently, rectified flow has emerged as a fundamental framework for large-scale image generation, powering state-of-the-art systems such as FLUX.

arXiv:2503. 14549v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Scientific generative models must turn tractable local decisions into globally correlated samples that respect physical constraints.

arXiv:2606. 03820v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop a quantitative approximation framework for diffusion distillation, viewing few-step sampling as error propagation under compositions of learned flow maps.

arXiv:2410. 01244v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce a novel Wasserstein-1 ($W_1$) path-space divergence for stochastic and deterministic dynamics and establish a Wasserstein Uncertainty Propagation (WUP) theorem that bounds the $W_1$ distance between terminal distributions by the proposed divergence, equivalently characterized by a weighted $L^2$ discrepancy between the underlying drifts and the $W_1$ distance between their initial measures.

arXiv:2607. 17018v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study distributionally robust linear chance-constrained problems in which uncertainty is modeled by a Gaussian mixture model (GMM).

arXiv:2608. 15144v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Posterior sampling with a pretrained diffusion prior is governed by a conditional score whose intermediate likelihood component is generally intractable.
