arXiv:2606.08953v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern generative models often define an entire probability path from a simple prior to the data law, rather than only an endpoint map. Diffusion models follow stochastic denoising paths, flow matching learns transport fields, consistency and distillation methods compress paths into one or a few steps, adversarial models match terminal distributions, and VAEs generate through latent kernels. Existing unifying views mainly describe how such paths are constructed. We study a complementary question: when is a generated probability path self-consiste
The proliferation of various generative model architectures necessitates a unifying theoretical framework to understand their underlying dynamics and ensure robustness.
Understanding the 'self-consistency' of generative paths is crucial for developing more reliable, controllable, and efficient AI systems, impacting their deployment across diverse applications.
This research provides a complementary perspective on generative models, focusing on the internal consistency of their learning paths rather than just their construction, which could lead to novel architectural designs or evaluation methods.
