- 适用于需要可控生成过程的研究者,尤其关注模型可解释性场景。
现代生成模型可视为从简单先验分布到目标数据分布的概率传输过程。确定性传输模型具有可解析的速度场参数化,而随机生成模型通过漂移和扩散捕捉更丰富的密度演化。然而,当随机动态被描述为确定性速度场时,漂移与扩散常被压缩为单一有效场,掩盖了确定性演化与随机波动的独立作用。本文证明,随机生成过程的速度场 $b_t$ 可自然分解为输运与渗透两部分:$b_t = u_t + d_t$,其中 $u_t$ 主导边际概率输运,$d_t$ 捕捉由扩散引起的渗透效应,且由边际得分决定。基于此,我们提出桥匹配(Bridge Matching),一种基于流的框架,通过边际与条件形式联合学习分解后的动力学。在生成建模实验中,我们重新组合为 $b_t = u_t + λ_d d_t$,验证该分解可实现可解释且可控的采样,通过调节渗透贡献影响概率传输过程。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Modern generative models can be understood as probability transport from a simple base distribution to a target data distribution. Deterministic transport models offer tractable velocity-field parameterizations, whereas stochastic generative models capture richer density evolution through drift and diffusion. Yet when stochastic dynamics are described through deterministic velocity fields, the effects of drift and diffusion are often compressed into a single effective field, obscuring the distinct roles of deterministic evolution and stochastic fluctuation. In this work, we show that the deterministic field \(b_t\) of a stochastic generative process admits a natural transport--osmotic decomposition that separates deterministic transport from stochastic, diffusion-induced effects: \(b_t = u_t + d_t\), where \(u_t\) governs marginal probability transport and \(d_t\) captures an osmotic effect induced by diffusion and determined by the marginal score. Based on this decomposition, we propose Bridge Matching, a flow-based framework for learning decomposed generative dynamics through both marginal and conditional formulations. In generative modeling experiments, we recombine the learned components as \(b_t = u_t + λ_d d_t\), showing that the proposed decomposition enables interpretable and controllable sampling by adjusting the osmotic contribution in probability transport.
