arXiv:2606.29110v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent progress in flow-based generative modeling has led to models that output high-quality samples while using only a small number of function evaluations. However, at present, there is a lack of similar advances in estimating the model likelihood. In particular, most existing methods either rely on restrictive architectures that enable exact calculations, or use stochastic approximations such as Hutchinson's trace estimator that introduce substantial variance. In this work, we introduce SCAlable LikeLihood distillation of flOw maPs (SCALLOP).
