We specialize Adjoint Matching—originally designed for reward fine-tuning—to the sampling setting.

By exploiting a factorization of the optimal transition density (a Schrödinger bridge), our new loss enables heavy reuse of simulations and energy evaluations.

New paper out with FAIR(+FAIR-Chemistry):

Adjoint Sampling: Highly Scalable Diffusion Samplers via Adjoint Matching

We present a scalable method for learning to sample *conditionally* from unnormalized densities beyond classical force fields.
