BiFM: Bidirectional Flow Matching for Few-Step Image Editing and Generation
Yasong Dai, Zeeshan Hayder, David Ahmedt-Aristizabal +1
Recent diffusion and flow matching models have demonstrated strong capabilities in image generation and editing by progressively removing noise through iterative sampling. While th…
