The paper introduces Difficulty-Calibrated Flow Matching, a method that adapts the noise-to-data interpolation schedule in Conditional Flow Matching based on a pilot run’s loss profile. By setting the schedule to the quantile function of this difficulty profile, the training trajectory spends more time where the velocity is hardest to learn. Experiments on CIFAR-10, MNIST, and Fashion‑MNIST show that this calibrated path achieves the best FID on CIFAR‑10 and outperforms all fixed schedules in large‑batch, few‑update settings, where compute is most limited.
Flow matching trains a neural network to regress the conditional velocity along a linear interpolant between noise and data, and the number of network evaluations~(NFE) sets the cost of sampling. The straight-line interpolant carries an implicit choice: the sample moves at constant speed throughout the trajectory.

arXiv:2605. 00941v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Flow matching has become a leading framework for generative modeling, but quantifying the uncertainty of its samples remains an open problem.
Training fast generators on new domains with limited data remains challenging for two reasons. First, adapting a pretrained diffusion or flow model to a new domain leaves its costly multi-step sampling unaddressed, and existing acceleration methods are tied to the source parameterization--$ε$, $x$, $v$, or $u$--leaving heterogeneous pretrained models with no common acceleration target.

arXiv:2608. 03916v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Trajectory inference is a fundamental problem in many scientific domains: given a collection of unpaired snapshots of observations at discrete time points, the goal is to generate smooth trajectories that best resemble and interpolate the data.
