arXiv:2608. 05422v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While many algorithms blend reinforcement learning (RL) with counterfactual regret (CFR) methods to leverage tradeoffs in computational speed and performance, there are fewer investigations into generative sampling frameworks in game theoretic applications in incomplete information games.
The paper introduces a new learning objective called trajectory balance for Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets), aiming to improve credit assignment across long action sequences. It demonstrates that minimizing this objective yields a policy that samples exactly from the target distribution. Experiments on four domains show that trajectory balance enhances convergence, sample diversity, and robustness to long sequences and large action spaces.

The paper introduces Partial GFlowNet, a method that partitions a large state space into overlapping partial state spaces to accelerate convergence of Generative Flow Networks. By restricting the actor’s exploration to these smaller regions and using a heuristic to switch between them, the approach enables efficient identification of high‑reward subregions. Experiments on popular datasets show that Partial GFlowNet converges faster, produces higher‑reward candidates, and improves diversity compared to existing methods.
arXiv:2606. 06272v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) are a framework for sampling structured objects via stochastic trajectories in a directed graph.
The paper introduces Wasserstein‑Tilted Flow Maps (WTF), a simulation‑free reinforcement learning method that fine‑tunes pre‑trained flow‑based generative models by adding an optimal transport regularizer derived from the model’s drift. Unlike traditional KL‑reward tilting, WTF transports individual samples toward higher reward, framing the problem as a deterministic optimal control task on the flow map. Experiments on ImageNet‑256 and text‑to‑image demonstrate that WTF achieves higher reward and comparable or better diversity while reducing training compute by up to 280×.

The paper introduces continuous adversarial flow models, a continuous-time flow framework trained with an adversarial objective that replaces the fixed mean-squared-error criterion of flow matching. By incorporating a learned discriminator, the method guides training toward a different generalized distribution, yielding samples more closely aligned with the target data distribution. Applied as a post‑training step, it markedly improves ImageNet 256px generation metrics—reducing the guidance‑free FID of latent‑space SiT from 8.26 to 3.63 and of pixel‑space JiT from 7.17 to 3.57—and also enhances guided generation and text‑to‑image benchmarks.
