A Time-Reparameterized Cumulative Intensity Extrapolation Sampler for Discrete Flow Matching

Discrete flow matching (DFM) provides a principled framework for generative modeling on discrete state spaces via continuous-time Markov chain dynamics. In practice, sampling for DFM commonly employs discretizations such as $τ$-leaping, yet efficient sampling methods under a limited number of function evaluations (NFE) remain less studied.

CAT-Flow: Curvature-Adaptive sTeps for Flow Matching

The paper introduces CAT-Flow, a pair of lightweight, training‑free algorithms—CAT‑OV and CAT‑OT—that adapt step‑sizes during Flow Matching inference by estimating curvature in time or state space. These methods avoid extra neural evaluations and achieve constant‑order truncation error bounds. Experiments show that CAT‑OV and CAT‑OT improve image quality metrics across four text‑to‑image Flow Matching models, cutting the required generation steps by up to 40%.

Efficient Weighted Sampling via Score-based Generative Models

arXiv:2502. 04646v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Weighted sampling -- sampling from a probability density function (PDF) proportional to the product of a base PDF and a weight function -- is a fundamental technique with wide-ranging applications in variance reduction, biased sampling, data augmentation, and more.
