arXiv:2606.01086v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Flow and diffusion models generate high-quality samples in many modalities; however, many network evaluations are required during inference due to numerical integration of an underlying differential equation. Flow maps alleviate this problem by learning the solution map of the differential equation directly, enabling few-step sampling. Yet, current methods are restricted to approximating the solution map of ODEs. These methods can be used to learn the transition kernel of an SDE, thereby obtaining a solution map that recovers the marginal distributions of the process (weak convergence) rather than the solution path (strong convergence). We propose Strong Stochastic Flow Maps (SSFMs) as a novel framework for learning the strong solution map of additive-noise SDEs, directly generalizing deterministic flow maps to the stochastic setting. Further, a polynomial approximation to Brownian motion is introduced and shown to converge pathwise.
