Notes on generative modeling: flow matching, diffusion, optimal transport and Schrödinger bridge
Abstract
These notes recapitulate the high level mathematical principles behind different techniques for generative modeling. I show the connections between optimal transport and standard techniques such as Schrödinger bridge and flow matching.
