Training-Free Refinement of Flow Matching with Divergence-based Sampling

The paper introduces Flow Divergence Sampler (FDS), a training‑free method that refines intermediate states in flow‑matching models by using the divergence of the marginal velocity field to detect and correct misguidance toward low‑density regions. FDS operates during inference, requires no additional training, and can be applied as a plug‑and‑play module with standard solvers and existing flow backbones. Experiments show that FDS consistently improves fidelity in tasks such as text‑to‑image synthesis and inverse problems.

ParetoTransport: Generative Optimization by Mass Transport Toward The Pareto Front

ParetoTransport is a training‑free guidance method for pre‑trained flow‑matching models that explicitly refines a population‑level distribution in objective space. It iteratively transports the empirical offline distribution toward the Pareto front using Wasserstein matching to intermediate proxy distributions, thereby controlling distributional displacement and mass allocation along the front. The authors prove a convergence result and show state‑of‑the‑art performance on standard offline multi‑objective optimization benchmarks, evaluating beyond hypervolume to generational distance, inverted generational distance, and Wasserstein distance.
