About this paper

Jianwen Xie, Yaxuan Zhu, Jun Li, Ping Li

CoopFlow combines a normalizing flow with a short Langevin run for image generation. The flow maps noise to an initial image, then learns from images revised by the Langevin process, reducing sampling steps sought without eliminating them. On CIFAR-10, it reports lower FID than either component alone; its validity claim is feature-statistic moment matching, not full distribution matching.
