A Paper on Diffusion Models and Flow Matching as Latent Variables
canaesseth · x · 2026-07-20
The author recommends a recent paper by Ole Winther, Paul Jeha, Manfred Opper, Andrea Dittadi and others that develops a latent-variable perspective on diffusion models and flow matching. They say the paper expands on the idea that flow matching / stochastic interpolants are a more natural convention when you view these generative models as latent variable models, building on the SDE Matching framing.
