Midpoint Generative Models
arXiv:2605. 29920v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We introduce Midpoint Generative Models (MGM), a principled framework for training one-step generative models.
Unifying Generative Models with Path Integrals
arXiv:2608. 12438v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We formulate generative modeling as a path integral in which flow-based, diffusion-based, variational, and adversarial models arise as different evaluation principles for a single master action.

ROMS-IMLE: A Minimalist Approach to Competitive Single-Step Generative Modelling
Generative models have undergone many generations of evolution, from VAEs/GANs to diffusion/flow matching. Along the way, the underlying techniques have become more complicated and various beliefs about what drives strong empirical performance have taken hold.

Renormalising Generative Models for Active Inference: Foundations, Derivations, and Verification
arXiv:2608. 09512v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Active inference offers a unified framework for perception, learning, and action, but scaling discrete active-inference models to rich spatial and temporal domains remains difficult.

Particle GFlowNets: Rethinking Generative Marginalization Models
The paper introduces Particle GFlowNets, showing that Generative Marginalization Models (MaMs) are equivalent to Generative Flow Networks. It extends MaMs to non‑autoregressive sampling and proposes an automatic full‑state rejuvenation criterion based on the Gelman‑Rubin statistic to accelerate learning. Experiments demonstrate significant training speedups in large combinatorial spaces.
