Finsler Flow Matching: Dynamics-Aware Geodesic Interpolation for Single-Snapshot Trajectory Inference

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.

Information-Geometric Forward Policy Training in GFlowNets

arXiv:2608. 03967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) have emerged as a flexible framework for amortised inference over discrete and mixed discrete-continuous objects, requiring only an unnormalised target density specified through a reward.

ReSFlow: Rectifying Categorical Flows on Statistical Manifolds for One-Step Generation

ReSFlow is a generative model that learns geodesic trajectories on statistical manifolds to enable one‑step categorical generation. By rectifying continuous‑time flows to follow intrinsic Riemannian geometry, it reduces transport cost and eliminates the need for multi‑step numerical integration. Experiments across image, text, and biological datasets show that ReSFlow achieves superior one‑step generation quality compared to prior methods.

Walking the Score Manifold: Continuous-time Generative Dynamics on Learned Data Manifolds

The paper proposes a continuous‑time generative framework that models time‑dependent data as evolution on a learned data manifold. By using pretrained score‑based models as geometric priors, it learns a vector field that drives data along score‑induced interpolation paths, enabling generation at arbitrary timestamps and temporal super‑resolution. The method includes a regression‑based training objective, a stability‑promoting term interpreted as denoising score matching, and a probabilistic extension for future trajectory distributions, demonstrated on natural video, PDE‑based fields, and molecular dynamics.

Generalizable single-cell perturbation response prediction using energy-guided flow matching

The paper introduces scEGFlow, an energy‑guided flow matching framework that predicts how single cells respond to perturbations by modeling continuous transitions from control to perturbed states. It uses conditional flow matching and condition‑specific energy gradients to dynamically adjust predictions without retraining, achieving superior performance on imaging and transcriptomic benchmarks, even for unseen perturbations or limited data. The method preserves cellular manifold geometry, heterogeneity, and accurately recapitulates gene‑expression regulatory patterns.
