arXiv:2607. 00535v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Few-step flow-map generators, such as consistency models and MeanFlow, accelerate sampling by directly learning long-range transport maps between noise and data.

arXiv:2604. 27147v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In generative modeling, we often wish to produce samples that maximize a user-specified reward such as aesthetic quality or alignment with human preferences, a problem known as \textit{guidance}.

arXiv:2511. 10841v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modeling continuous-time dynamics from sparse and irregularly-sampled time series remains a fundamental challenge.

arXiv:2606. 08672v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion and flow generative models sample by integrating a learned ODE, but high quality still requires many sequential model evaluations.

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.

arXiv:2606. 01086v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Flow and diffusion models generate high-quality samples in many modalities; however, many network evaluations are required during inference due to numerical integration of an underlying differential equation.

arXiv:2601. 23231v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Flow-based generative models provide strong unconditional priors for inverse problems, but guiding their dynamics for conditional generation remains challenging.

arXiv:2606. 11156v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent one-step generative models accelerate sampling by learning deterministic flow maps of the underlying dynamics.

arXiv:2606. 11075v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Aligning text-to-image flow matching models with human preferences via direct reward backpropagation is sample-efficient but hampered by two well-known pathologies: activations cannot be stored across the full sampling trajectory at modern model scale, and chained Jacobian products across steps inflate the reward gradient as it travels back to early indices.

arXiv:2606. 04092v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Flow matching models learn to transport samples from a simple prior distribution to a complex data distribution.

arXiv:2602. 08733v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are central to scientific modelling, but inferring their vector fields from noisy trajectories remains challenging.

arXiv:2607. 12171v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In rectified-flow-based generative models, the neural network can be trained to predict two different targets, such as the instantaneous velocity or the data endpoint, to perform denoising.
