Finsler Flow Matching: Dynamics-Aware Geodesic Interpolation for Single-Snapshot Trajectory Inference

The paper introduces Finsler Flow Matching (FFM), a method for learning continuous stochastic dynamics from discrete Markov transition graphs in single‑cell snapshot data. FFM constructs a Finsler geometry using first and second local moments, learns directed geodesics via neural networks, and employs these to build geometry‑aware stochastic paths that can be simulated without explicit score or flow matching. Benchmark tests show that FFM better recovers intermediate cellular states, especially when dynamics are directional or anisotropic.

A Time-Reparameterized Cumulative Intensity Extrapolation Sampler for Discrete Flow Matching

Discrete flow matching (DFM) provides a principled framework for generative modeling on discrete state spaces via continuous-time Markov chain dynamics. In practice, sampling for DFM commonly employs discretizations such as $τ$-leaping, yet efficient sampling methods under a limited number of function evaluations (NFE) remain less studied.

Discrete Wasserstein Flows for One-Step Generative Modeling

The paper presents a new one‑step generative modeling framework for finite state spaces, leveraging discrete Wasserstein geometry to define a target‑relative KL gradient flow over a reversible Markov kernel. The authors implement this flow at the particle level using Markov jumps and encode the resulting transport updates into a latent‑conditioned generator, enabling one‑step inference after training. Experiments on a controlled setting confirm KL dissipation, consistency between particle dynamics and probability flow, and accurate numerical scaling, while a finite‑capacity neural generator successfully tracks the exact transport targets.
