arXiv:2605.23522v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has become an effective way to improve prompt alignment and perceptual quality in diffusion and flow-matching generators. A critical step for applying online RL to flow matching is turning the deterministic sampling trajectory into a stochastic policy, typically by replacing the reverse-time Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) with a Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE). The stochastic sampler, controlling the exploration behavior and denoising dynamics, is thus part of the policy, and its design can significantly a
The rapid advancement in generative AI models, particularly diffusion and flow-matching, necessitates more sophisticated control mechanisms for alignment and quality.
This research contributes to refining the control and exploration capabilities of AI models through advanced sampling techniques, which is crucial for their reliable deployment and performance in real-world applications.
The development of SDE-consistent stochastic sampling provides a more robust method for integrating reinforcement learning into flow-matching models, enabling finer control over their generative outputs.
