Beckmann Transport Models: From Autonomous Flows to One-Step Maps

Lee Cheuk-Kit, Florentin Coeurdoux, Yuyuan Chen +5

We propose an instantiation of flow matching that relies on a time-independent velocity field (an \emph{autonomous flow}) to exactly map between two distributions, so long as the t…

Covariance Shrinkage via Stochastic Interpolation

Mathieu Chalvidal, Florentin Coeurdoux, Eric Vanden-Eijnden

We recast classical shrinkage of high-dimensional covariance estimators as empirical risk minimization over a parametric stochastic interpolant between a source and a target distri…

Random Matrix Theory of Early-Stopped Gradient Flow: A Transient BBP Scenario

Florentin Coeurdoux, Grégoire Ferré, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud

Empirical studies of trained models often report a transient regime in which signal is detectable in a finite gradient descent time window before overfitting dominates. We provide…

Probing the Geometry of Diffusion Models with the String Method

Elio Moreau, Florentin Coeurdoux, Grégoire Ferre +1

Understanding the geometry of learned distributions is fundamental to improving and interpreting diffusion models, yet systematic tools for exploring their landscape remain limited…

Generative Modeling via Kernelized Stochastic Interpolants

Florentin Coeurdoux, Etienne Lempereur, Nathanaël Cuvelle-Magar +2

We develop a kernel method for generative modeling within the stochastic interpolant framework, replacing neural network training with linear systems. The drift of the generative S…

MGD: Moment Guided Diffusion for Maximum Entropy Generation

Etienne Lempereur, Nathanaël Cuvelle--Magar, Florentin Coeurdoux +2

Generating samples from limited information is a fundamental problem across scientific domains. Classical maximum entropy methods provide principled uncertainty quantification from…

Multitask Learning with Stochastic Interpolants

Hugo Negrel, Florentin Coeurdoux, Michael S. Albergo +1

We propose a framework for learning maps between probability distributions that broadly generalizes the time dynamics of flow and diffusion models. To enable this, we generalize st…

Normalizing flow sampling with Langevin dynamics in the latent space

Florentin Coeurdoux, Nicolas Dobigeon, Pierre Chainais

Normalizing flows (NF) use a continuous generator to map a simple latent (e.g. Gaussian) distribution, towards an empirical target distribution associated with a training data set.…

Plug-and-Play split Gibbs sampler: embedding deep generative priors in Bayesian inference

Florentin Coeurdoux, Nicolas Dobigeon, Pierre Chainais

This paper introduces a stochastic plug-and-play (PnP) sampling algorithm that leverages variable splitting to efficiently sample from a posterior distribution. The algorithm based…

Sliced-Wasserstein normalizing flows: beyond maximum likelihood training

Florentin Coeurdoux, Nicolas Dobigeon, Pierre Chainais

Despite their advantages, normalizing flows generally suffer from several shortcomings including their tendency to generate unrealistic data (e.g., images) and their failing to det…

Learning Optimal Transport Between two Empirical Distributions with Normalizing Flows

Florentin Coeurdoux, Nicolas Dobigeon, Pierre Chainais

Optimal transport (OT) provides effective tools for comparing and mapping probability measures. We propose to leverage the flexibility of neural networks to learn an approximate op…
