RW-Flow: One-Step Generation on Compact Manifolds via Wasserstein Gradient Flows

RW-Flow presents a new one‑step generative framework for data on compact manifolds, leveraging Wasserstein gradient flows. The authors derive a necessary and sufficient identifiability condition for velocity fields on compact, connected Riemannian manifolds, showing that a symmetric, Lipschitz‑continuous cost function yields identifiability iff its Gibbs kernel is nondegenerate. Experiments on geospatial events, protein and RNA torsion angles, and discretized manifolds demonstrate that RW‑Flow surpasses existing one‑step methods across most benchmark settings.

Statistically Meaningful Geometry and Gauge Symmetry Breaking: A Geometric Foundation for Scientific Discovery and Intelligence Emergence

arXiv:2607. 05436v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid scaling of over-parameterized machine learning architectures, particularly LLMs, raises a profound crisis: do these systems exhibit genuine intelligence, or are they merely sophisticated statistical pattern matchers?

ReSFlow: Rectifying Categorical Flows on Statistical Manifolds for One-Step Generation

ReSFlow is a generative model that learns geodesic trajectories on statistical manifolds to enable one‑step categorical generation. By rectifying continuous‑time flows to follow intrinsic Riemannian geometry, it reduces transport cost and eliminates the need for multi‑step numerical integration. Experiments across image, text, and biological datasets show that ReSFlow achieves superior one‑step generation quality compared to prior methods.

Geometric-to-Semantic Spherical Transfer Learning for Cortical Sulci Labeling

The paper introduces a Geometric-to-Semantic Spherical Transfer Learning framework for labeling cortical sulci on brain surfaces. It first pre‑trains a spherical encoder on ~30,000 unlabeled UK Biobank subjects using only curvature and depth, then injects sulcal fundi lines as a soft‑initialized Topological Prior Injector to bridge the geometric‑semantic gap. Experiments show the method surpasses fully supervised baselines, achieving a mean Dice score of 0.77 and delivering the largest gains on variable and tertiary sulci.
