Simplifying Flow Matching Transformations with Low-Rank Mixture Models

Normalizing flows are powerful generative models that learn an invertible mapping between complex data distributions and simple latent distributions, typically a standard normal density. However, this choice of latent density can impose unnecessary complexity on the learned flow transformation due to the topological mismatch between the latent and data densities, leading to slower training and suboptimal performance.

Representation Learning in Diffusion and Flow-based Model: An Application Aspect

The article surveys how diffusion and flow-based generative models learn rich visual representations and how these representations can be used to improve generation and other perception tasks. It introduces a three-tier framework that categorizes work into improving generative quality via representation learning, extracting representations for perception, and developing unified applications. The survey covers downstream tasks such as image classification, dense prediction, instance-level perception, and annotation-scarce scenarios, offering a taxonomy and highlighting future research directions.

Compositional Cross-Modality Translation via Whole-Volume Multitask Latent Flow Matching

arXiv:2608. 08135v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cross-modality medical image translation can reduce the burden of multi-modal acquisitions, yet the field remains constrained by two coupled limitations: methods operate on 2D slices or 3D patches rather than whole volumes, and train a separate model for each translation task.
