Abstract

In flow matching (FM), a velocity model $v_θ$ is trained using a predefined path $g_t$ that connects data and noise samples (e.g., $g_t(x_0, x_1) = (1 - t) x_0 + t x_1$). In this work, we study the choice of this path from an optimization perspective by analyzing the variance of stochastic gradients. We consider the class $G(p_t,v^\star_t)$ of paths that induce the same marginal distributions $p_t
