Generative Path-Finding Method for Wasserstein Gradient Flow

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2604.11519v1 Announce Type: new Wasserstein gradient flows (WGFs) describe the evolution of probability distributions in Wasserstein space as steepest descent dynamics for a free energy functional. Computing the full path from an arbitrary initial distribution to equilibrium is challenging, especially in high dimensions. Eulerian methods suffer from the curse of dimensionality, while existing Lagrangian approaches based on particles or generative maps do not naturally improve efficiency through time step tuning.
