Balancing Frequencies and Pixels in Flow Matching

The paper introduces a Focal Log-Frequency Loss (f-loss) to counteract the spectral imbalance in pixel-space flow matching, where low frequencies dominate training. By balancing learning signals across frequencies and combining early frequency-domain supervision with later pixel-space refinement, the method accelerates convergence by up to 40% and improves FID and perceptual fidelity across multiple model scales. It requires no architectural changes and can replace existing flow matching losses as a drop‑in solution.

A Multi-View and Confusion-Guided Ensemble Framework for Robust Synthetic Image Attribution

The paper introduces a multi‑view, confusion‑guided ensemble framework for synthetic image attribution, combining FFT‑ConvNeXt, DINOv2, CLIP, and Xception to capture frequency, semantic, and forensic cues. Extensive data augmentation simulates realistic post‑processing, while a binary expert classifier and class‑adaptive confidence calibration address ambiguities between similar diffusion models. The approach achieved 99.53% on the public leaderboard and 99.20% on the private leaderboard for the ICANN 2026 DLMMDD Workshop challenge.

Exposure Bias Can Alleviate Itself via Directional and Frequency Rectification in Flow Matching

arXiv:2606. 28226v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Flow Matching (FM) has achieved remarkable generative performance, yet it suffers from exposure bias due to discrepancies between training and inference.
