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.

Efficient Covariance-Aware Vicinal Latent Diffusion (CAViLD) is a latent diffusion framework designed for continuous conditional image generation. It builds a purified, condition-aware latent space using density-adaptive vicinal learning, auxiliary semantic regularization, and NIQE-guided negative data augmentation. CAViLD incorporates an EMA teacher to internalize conditional guidance, enabling single-branch inference, and employs covariance-aware progressive distillation to reduce sampling steps to four NFEs, achieving a balance between fidelity, condition consistency, and efficiency on datasets such as RC-49, UTKFace, and Steering Angle.

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.

ReCurveflow is a flow‑matching framework that learns to predict transition state geometries by training on continuously curved reference paths derived from full NEB bands, rather than straight linear paths. It introduces an off‑path correction mechanism that generates corrective velocity fields when the model encounters geometries off the training path, improving resistance to exposure bias and TS prediction accuracy. Across multiple data splits and evaluation metrics, ReCurveflow outperforms seven baselines and produces reaction trajectories whose energy profiles closely follow the reference NEB path, aiding NEB optimization and demonstrating effective corrective behavior.

The paper introduces Finsler Flow Matching (FFM), a method for learning continuous stochastic dynamics from discrete Markov transition graphs in single‑cell snapshot data. FFM constructs a Finsler geometry using first and second local moments, learns directed geodesics via neural networks, and employs these to build geometry‑aware stochastic paths that can be simulated without explicit score or flow matching. Benchmark tests show that FFM better recovers intermediate cellular states, especially when dynamics are directional or anisotropic.
