How to Guide Your Language Flow

Rohit Dilip, Tianrong Chen, Yuyang Wang +3

We introduce a new method to guide flow matching models. Our approach, which we call probe guidance, uses the frozen internal states of an existing diffusion model to construct a g…

Normalizing Trajectory Models

Jiatao Gu, Tianrong Chen, Ying Shen +3

Diffusion-based models decompose sampling into many small Gaussian denoising steps -- an assumption that breaks down when generation is compressed to a few coarse transitions. Exis…

STARFlow2: Bridging Language Models and Normalizing Flows for Unified Multimodal Generation

Ying Shen, Tianrong Chen, Yuan Gao +6

Deep generative models have advanced rapidly across text and vision, motivating unified multimodal systems that can understand, reason over, and generate interleaved text-image seq…

Normalizing Flows with Iterative Denoising

Tianrong Chen, Jiatao Gu, David Berthelot +2

Normalizing Flows (NFs) are a classical family of likelihood-based methods that have received revived attention. Recent efforts such as TARFlow have shown that NFs are capable of a…

The Coupling Within: Flow Matching via Distilled Normalizing Flows

David Berthelot, Tianrong Chen, Jiatao Gu +6

Flow models have rapidly become the go-to method for training and deploying large-scale generators, owing their success to inference-time flexibility via adjustable integration ste…

One Layer Is Enough: Adapting Pretrained Visual Encoders for Image Generation

Yuan Gao, Chen Chen, Tianrong Chen +1

Visual generative models (e.g., diffusion models) typically operate in compressed latent spaces to balance training efficiency and sample quality. In parallel, there has been growi…

STARFlow-V: End-to-End Video Generative Modeling with Normalizing Flows

Jiatao Gu, Ying Shen, Tianrong Chen +6

Normalizing flows (NFs) are end-to-end likelihood-based generative models for continuous data, and have recently regained attention with encouraging progress on image generation. Y…

Continuously Augmented Discrete Diffusion model for Categorical Generative Modeling

Huangjie Zheng, Shansan Gong, Ruixiang Zhang +5

Standard discrete diffusion models treat all unobserved states identically by mapping them to an absorbing [MASK] token. This creates an 'information void' where semantic informati…

Flexible Language Modeling in Continuous Space with Transformer-based Autoregressive Flows

Ruixiang Zhang, Shuangfei Zhai, Jiatao Gu +6

Autoregressive models have driven remarkable progress in language modeling. Their foundational reliance on discrete tokens, unidirectional context, and single-pass decoding, while…

STARFlow: Scaling Latent Normalizing Flows for High-resolution Image Synthesis

Jiatao Gu, Tianrong Chen, David Berthelot +7

We present STARFlow, a scalable generative model based on normalizing flows that achieves strong performance in high-resolution image synthesis. The core of STARFlow is Transformer…

TADA: Improved Diffusion Sampling with Training-free Augmented Dynamics

Tianrong Chen, Huangjie Zheng, David Berthelot +3

Diffusion models have demonstrated exceptional capabilities in generating high-fidelity images but typically suffer from inefficient sampling. Many solver designs and noise schedul…

Normalizing Flows are Capable Generative Models

Shuangfei Zhai, Ruixiang Zhang, Preetum Nakkiran +7

Normalizing Flows (NFs) are likelihood-based models for continuous inputs. They have demonstrated promising results on both density estimation and generative modeling tasks, but ha…
