Aligning Latent Spaces with Flow Priors

Published: 2025-06-05

Link: http://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.05240

1. 📘 Topic and Domain: The paper proposes a framework for aligning learnable latent spaces with arbitrary target distributions in machine learning, specifically focusing on generative modeling and representation learning.
2. 💡 Previous Research and New Ideas: Based on previous work in flow-based models and latent space alignment using KL divergence, the paper introduces a novel approach using flow priors to align latent spaces with any target distribution rather than just known parametric priors.
3. ❓ Problem: The paper addresses the challenge of aligning learned latent representations to arbitrary target distributions efficiently without requiring expensive computations or direct per-sample feature comparisons.
4. 🛠️ Methods: The method uses a two-stage process: first pretraining a flow model on target features, then using this fixed flow model to regularize a learnable latent space through an alignment loss that adapts the flow matching objective.
5. 📊 Results and Evaluation: The method demonstrated effectiveness through toy experiments with mixture of Gaussians and large-scale image generation on ImageNet, showing improved FID scores and generation quality across different target distributions (visual, semantic, and textual features).
