Trajectory Stitching for Solving Inverse Problems with Flow-Based Models

The paper introduces MS-Flow, a method that represents a flow-based generative model’s trajectory as a sequence of intermediate latent states instead of a single initial code. By enforcing local flow dynamics and coupling trajectory segments with matching penalties, the approach alternates between updating latent states and ensuring consistency with observed data. This strategy reduces memory usage and improves reconstruction quality on tasks such as image inpainting, super‑resolution, and computed tomography.

FlowSGS: Improving Flow Matching Priors for Inverse Imaging with Stochastic Interpolants

FlowSGS introduces a flow-based posterior sampling method that combines Split Gibbs Sampling (SGS) with Langevin dynamics for the likelihood step and Stochastic Interpolants (SI) for the prior step. By integrating a pretrained flow model into the prior step via SI's reverse-time SDE and a novel timestep correction, FlowSGS reduces the number of network evaluations compared to plug‑and‑play diffusion samplers. Experiments demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art performance on various inverse problems, including the first flow‑based solution to a nonlinear inverse problem (Fourier phase retrieval).
