Variational Flow Matching goes Riemannian! 🔮

In this preliminary work, we derive a variational objective for probability flows 🌀 on manifolds with closed-form geodesics, and discuss some interesting results.

Dream team: Floor, Alison & Erik (their @ below) 💥

Ever wondered why presenting more facts can sometimes *worsen* disagreements, even among rational people? 🤔

It turns out, Bayesian reasoning has some surprising answers - no cognitive biases needed! Let's explore this fascinating paradox quickly ☺️

Now still RV'ing w/ @davidmknigge.bsky.social around Vancouver Island, but looking forward to Neurips2024!

We will present our work on solving PDEs with space-time continuous representations using Equivariant Neural Fields (ENF) 🏄‍♀️🌊

Would love to meet and chat if interested!!
