On the Wasserstein Gradient Flow Interpretation of Drifting Models
Arthur Gretton, Li Kevin Wenliang, Alexandre Galashov +3
Recently, Deng et al. (2026) proposed Generative Modeling via Drifting (GMD), a novel framework for generative tasks. This note presents an analysis of GMD through the lens of Wass…

Careful with that Scalpel: Improving Gradient Surgery with an EMA
Yu-Guan Hsieh, James Thornton, Eugene Ndiaye +3
Beyond minimizing a single training loss, many deep learning estimation pipelines rely on an auxiliary objective to quantify and encourage desirable properties of the model (e.g. p…
