  • 将引导生成流转化为李雅普诺夫控制问题,理论统一多种引导方法。
  • 引入闭式伪投影算子,使引导项具备显式稳定性保障。
  • 兼容现有方法,计算开销小,适合图像逆问题与强化学习等场景。

流匹配已成为学习复杂数据分布的有效框架,但将预训练流模型适配到新任务通常需要代价高昂的重新训练。后训练引导提供更高效的替代方案,但现有方法多为启发式且缺乏明确稳定性保证。本文提出LyaGuide,一种统一的李雅普诺夫引导框架,将流引导形式化为李雅普诺夫控制问题。主要理论结果建立了引导流匹配与李雅普诺夫控制之间的等价性,从而在单一控制理论框架下统一了分类器引导、奖励引导和基于能量的引导等常见策略。为满足李雅普诺夫条件,我们引入具有闭式表达的伪投影算子,赋予学习或启发式引导项显式稳定性保障。LyaGuide支持两种实用设置:模型驱动(通过已知李雅普诺夫函数指定目标引导分布)与数据驱动(从特定任务下游数据中适应引导)。该框架兼容现有引导方法,引入极小额外计算开销,易于实际集成。在合成基准、图像逆问题、强化学习规划和基于能量的建模上的大量实验表明,其在样本质量、引导保真度和鲁棒性方面均实现持续提升,同时保持计算效率。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Flow matching has emerged as an effective framework for learning complex data distributions, but adapting pretrained flow models to new tasks often requires computationally expensive retraining. Post-training guidance provides a more efficient alternative, but existing methods are largely heuristic and offer no explicit stability guarantees. We address this limitation by proposing LyaGuide, a unified Lyapunov-guided framework that formulates flow guidance as a Lyapunov control problem. Our main theoretical result establishes an equivalence between guided flow matching and Lyapunov control, thereby unifying common guidance strategies, such as classifier guidance, reward guidance, and energy-based guidance, within a single control-theoretic framework. To enforce the Lyapunov condition, we introduce a pseudo-projection operator with a closed-form expression that endows learned or heuristic guidance terms with explicit stability guarantees. LyaGuide supports two practical settings: a model-driven setting, where the target guidance distribution is specified through a known Lyapunov function, and a data-driven setting, where the guidance is adapted from task-specific downstream data. LyaGuide is compatible with existing guidance methods, introduces minimal additional computational overhead, and is straightforward to integrate in practice. Extensive experiments on synthetic benchmarks, image inverse problems, reinforcement learning planning, and energy-based modeling demonstrate consistent improvements in sample quality, guidance fidelity, and robustness, while maintaining computational efficiency.
