Conditional Flow Matching for Generative Models

A simulation-free way to train continuous normalizing flows: instead of solving an ODE during training, the model regresses a time-dependent vector field toward a target velocity that transports a simple prior distribution to the data distribution along a conditional probability path. Covers the flow-matching objective, conditional paths (such as optimal-transport or Gaussian interpolants), and how samples are produced by integrating the learned vector field at inference.
