Strong Stochastic Flow Maps

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.

A Mathematical Introduction to Diffusion Models

arXiv:2607. 01693v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: These notes give a proof-oriented introduction to diffusion models from the viewpoint of sampling, tracing a single arc from classical sampling dynamics to modern diffusion samplers, their error analysis, and inference-time control.

Neural Galerkin Normalizing Flow for Transition Probability Density Functions of Diffusion Models

arXiv:2603. 18907v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We propose a new Neural Galerkin Normalizing Flow framework to approximate the transition probability density function of a diffusion process by solving the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation with an atomic initial distribution, parametrically with respect to the location of the initial mass.

Neural Galerkin Normalizing Flows for Bayesian Inference of Diffusions with Inaccessible Boundaries

One of the primary challenges in Bayesian inference on the parameters of a diffusion model from discrete observations is the unavailability of an analytical expression for the transition density function between consecutive observation times, which is needed to derive the likelihood function. Extending previous studies that solve Fokker-Planck (FP) type partial differential equations with Normalizing Flows, we propose a new Normalizing Flow architecture to learn the transition density function of the diffusion process between two observation times.
