Conditional vector-field regression yields the marginal FM parameter gradient under exchange/integrability assumptions; Gaussian path design includes conditional straight displacement paths and simulation-free CNF training.
Scientific scope
Conditional vector-field regression yields the marginal FM parameter gradient under exchange/integrability assumptions; Gaussian path design includes conditional straight displacement paths and simulation-free CNF training. The method learns a vector field for declared probability paths. Conditional and marginal objectives agree under their stated integrability/regularity conditions; simulation-free training does not remove ODE sampling or optimization costs. Optimal-transport conditional paths are not automatically the globally optimal learned transport. Reported generative metrics are setup-dependent and have not been replayed by WRS.
