Many modern generative modeling methods, including diffusion models, normalizing flows, and flow matching, estimate transport maps or plans between distributions without explicitly targeting an optimal transport (OT) map. In applications like generative modeling, the transport cost itself is irrelevant, and this makes it natural to target maps which are more tractable from either a statistical or computational standpoint.

arXiv:2606. 08953v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern generative models often define an entire probability path from a simple prior to the data law, rather than only an endpoint map.

arXiv:2606. 29287v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion and continuous-flow generative models achieve high-quality generation, and their deterministic sampling can be formulated as solving learned ODE dynamics.

arXiv:2606. 03820v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop a quantitative approximation framework for diffusion distillation, viewing few-step sampling as error propagation under compositions of learned flow maps.

arXiv:2608. 01692v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose an instantiation of flow matching that relies on a time-independent velocity field (an \emph{autonomous flow}) to exactly map between two distributions, so long as the target is singular, i.

arXiv:2607. 26398v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion and flow-based models benefit from simple regression losses, but inference incurs significant overhead because sampling requires integration.
