Researchers have developed Arbitrarily Conditioned Hierarchical Flows (ARCH), a new framework for modeling spatiotemporal events. ARCH utilizes a hierarchical flow matching approach to capture complex event distributions and supports broader inference tasks beyond simple event-by-event prediction. The framework's history-encoder-generative-decoder architecture and hybrid masking strategy allow for flexible conditioning on observed events, enabling unified treatment of forecasting, inverse inference, and trajectory recovery. Experiments indicate ARCH outperforms existing methods on both prediction and conditional inference tasks. AI
