Training-Free Refinement of Flow Matching with Divergence-based Sampling

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2604.04646v1 Announce Type: cross Flow-based models learn a target distribution by modeling a marginal velocity field, defined as the average of sample-wise velocities connecting each sample from a simple prior to the target data. When sample-wise velocities conflict at the same intermediate state, however, this averaged velocity can misguide samples toward low-density regions, degrading generation quality. To address this issue, we propose the Flow Divergence Sampler (FDS), a
