Branched Optimal Transport Amortization

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 14, 2026 · UTC

Methods of Branched Optimal Transport (BOT) mimic the economy and efficiency of natural tree-like structures, such as those found in rivers and biological systems. These methods are widely applicable for designing efficient networks in society, from river basins and blood vessels to mail and gas distribution systems. However, they remain understudied in the context of designing deep generative models, particularly at a large scale. Standard continuous-time generative models, such as the flow matching approach, fail to capture the inherent hierarchical and branching patterns present in real-wor
