The Reward Was in Your Data All Along: Correcting Flow Matching with Discriminator-Guided RL

arXiv:2606. 19162v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Score- and flow-matching models often rely on preference-based reinforcement learning for two purposes: aligning with subjective preferences and, surprisingly, recovering properties such as visual realism and coherent object structure that matching-based training is intended to learn from the data itself.

Drifting Preference Optimization for One-Step Generative Models

arXiv:2606. 02521v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: One-step text-to-image generators are attractive for deployment because they generate an image with a single forward pass, but preference finetuning them remains difficult: standard alignment methods often rely on policy likelihoods, denoising trajectories, differentiable reward gradients, or test-time optimization.

Drifting Preference Optimization for One-Step Generative Models

One-step text-to-image generators are attractive for deployment because they generate an image with a single forward pass, but preference finetuning them remains difficult: standard alignment methods often rely on policy likelihoods, denoising trajectories, differentiable reward gradients, or test-time optimization. We propose Drifting Preference Optimization (DrPO), an online preference-finetuning method for deterministic one-step generators.
