Modeling Stochastic Conditional Dynamics from Sparse Observations via Kernel-Stabilized Flow Matching
arXiv:2411.08314v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Learning to transform conditional probability densities over time is a fundamental challenge spanning probabilistic modeling and the natural sciences. This task is paramount when forecasting the evolution of stochastic nonlinear dynamical systems in biological and physical domains. While flow-based models can predict the temporal evolution of probability distributions, existing approaches often assume discrete conditioning with samples that are paired across time, limiting their scientific applicability where frequently only sparse data with
This research addresses a critical limitation in current flow-based models, which often require paired data for conditional dynamics, a constraint frequently unmet in real-world scientific applications.
Improving the ability to model stochastic conditional dynamics from sparse, unpaired observations could significantly enhance forecasting in complex biological and physical systems, accelerating scientific discovery and engineering applications.
The ability to accurately model evolving probability distributions with sparse observations lowers data requirements for advanced AI models, potentially expanding their applicability in domains with limited or irregular data availability.
