arXiv:2605.31369v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many modern generative models can be viewed as minimizing divergences between probability distributions, yet they rely on different algorithmic and geometric principles. Wasserstein gradient flows provide a continuous-time formulation for optimizing over distributions, and can be approximated through their implicit discretization via the Jordan-Kinderlehrer-Otto (JKO) scheme. In this work, we present a unified theoretical framework for generative modeling based on Wasserstein gradient flows, which we refer to as Generative Wasserstein Flows (GWF)
The proliferation of various generative models necessitates a unified theoretical framework to advance the field more systematically and efficiently.
This work provides a foundational theoretical framework that could lead to more robust, efficient, and broadly applicable generative AI models, impacting numerous downstream applications. It streamlines the understanding of diverse generative approaches, which is crucial for future AI development.
The development of generative AI models moves towards a more unified theoretical understanding, potentially accelerating research and development by providing a common language and set of principles. It simplifies the landscape for understanding and comparing different generative models.
