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.

SBNO (Schr"odinger Bridge Neural Operator) is an equation‑free framework that learns conditional operators for both forward and inverse PDE problems using paired data and a diffusion Schr"odinger bridge matching approach. It preserves empirical input‑solution pairing through a mask‑aware endpoint coupling and supports both task directions within a single model. At inference, SBNO generates deterministic reconstructions via a probability‑flow ODE, achieving comparable or superior accuracy on five PDE benchmarks with only 5% observations, while being at least 9.7× faster and using 4.3× less GPU memory than guided‑diffusion baselines.

PosteriorBench is a new benchmark that evaluates how well generative inverse solvers recover full posterior distributions rather than just a single reconstruction. It tests four physics-based inverse problems—Darcy flow inversion, Poisson source recovery, carbon capture and storage, and light transport material inference—using high-fidelity reference posteriors generated by rejection sampling and MCMC. The benchmark employs five metrics (posterior-mean error, posterior-standard-deviation error, maximum mean discrepancy, sliced Wasserstein distance, and radially averaged power-spectrum error) to assess pointwise accuracy, uncertainty, distributional alignment, and global frequency fidelity, revealing significant distribution-matching gaps in current solvers and highlighting the importance of neural operators, guidance weights, and generation noise for posterior-variance calibration.
