arXiv:2602. 20360v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Flow-based generative methods offer a simple and effective framework for high-fidelity generation, yet pretrained flow models are rarely used in their vanilla conditional form: in image generation, samples without guidance often appear diffuse and lack fine-grained detail.

The paper introduces a model calibration method using optimal transport to address discrepancies between simulation and experimental data in high-dimensional machine learning applications. Applied to jet tagging in particle physics, the technique calibrates a 128‑dimensional latent representation from a general‑purpose classifier, ensuring downstream derived quantities are properly calibrated. This enables more reliable use of foundation models for jet flavor analysis in LHC experiments and offers a general framework for correcting high‑dimensional simulations across scientific fields.

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.

The paper introduces Flow Divergence Sampler (FDS), a training‑free method that refines intermediate states in flow‑matching models by using the divergence of the marginal velocity field to detect and correct misguidance toward low‑density regions. FDS operates during inference, requires no additional training, and can be applied as a plug‑and‑play module with standard solvers and existing flow backbones. Experiments show that FDS consistently improves fidelity in tasks such as text‑to‑image synthesis and inverse problems.
