Decomposable Flow Matching (DFM) introduces a progressive generation framework that applies independent flow timesteps across multi-scale representations using a single, shared generative model. This approach yields enhanced visual quality and faster training convergence for high-dimensional image and video synthesis compared to prior methods.

Key insights

  • Progressive generation can be effectively achieved with a single, shared model by employing independent flow timesteps for each scale, simplifying architecture and training.
  • Prioritizing the generation of coarse-scale structural details during training, by sampling the coarsest stage more frequently, improves overall image quality and detail.
  • The framework is agnostic to the choice of multi-scale decomposition (e.g., Laplacian pyramid), providing flexibility while still benefiting from explicitly structured latent representations.
