Geometry-Aware Discretization Error of Diffusion Models

Samuel Hurault, Thomas Moreau, Gabriel Peyré

Practical diffusion sampling requires simulating a reverse-time ODE or SDE with a limited number of denoising steps, making the choice of sampling parameters crucial for minimizing…

Tessellations of Semi-Discrete Flow Matching

Emile Pierret, Johannes Hertrich, Samuel Hurault +1

We study Flow Matching in a semi-discrete setting where a Gaussian source is transported toward a discrete target supported on finitely many points. This semi-discrete regime is th…
