New arXiv papers explore flow matching and optimal transport in generative models

Two new arXiv papers delve into advanced generative modeling techniques. The first paper, "Notes on generative modeling: flow matching, diffusion, optimal transport and Schrödinger bridge" by Titouan Vayer, explores the mathematical principles connecting optimal transport with methods like Schrödinger bridge and flow matching. The second paper, "Robustness and Structure Preservation in Flow-Based Generative Models via Wasserstein Path-Space Divergences" by Ziyu Chen, introduces a novel Wasserstein path-space divergence to bound the distance between terminal distributions, offering robustness and generalization bounds for score-based generative models and flow matching.
