A Visual Dive into Conditional Flow Matching | ICLR Blogposts 2025
Conditional flow matching (CFM) was introduced by three simultaneous papers at ICLR 2023, through different approaches (conditional matching, rectifying flows and stochastic interpolants).
The main part of this post, Section 2, explains CFM by using both visual intuitions and insights on its probabilistic formulations. Section 1 introduces nomalizing flows; it can be skipped by reader familiar with the topic, or that wants to cover them later. Section 3 opens on the links between CFM and other approaches, and ends with a 'CFM playground'.
