arXiv:2606.11156v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent one-step generative models accelerate sampling by learning deterministic flow maps of the underlying dynamics. These methods rely on learning from ordinary differential equations, leaving open how to define an exact distillation procedure for stochastic dynamics. We introduce the It\^o map, an any-step stochastic flow map that takes an intermediate state and Brownian path and predicts future states in a single pass. The It\^o map formulation yields novel estimators for inference-time control by providing cheap, differentiable access to p
The rapid advancement in generative AI models highlights the need for more efficient and robust sampling methods, particularly for stochastic processes which are common in many real-world applications.
This development could significantly accelerate the training and inference of advanced AI models by providing a more efficient, single-pass method for stochastic flow maps, thus reducing computational overhead.
The ability to predict future states in a single pass for stochastic dynamics, using Itô maps, fundamentally changes how generative models handle noise and uncertainty, moving beyond deterministic flow limitations.
