Flow Matching with Missing Data

arXiv:2607.28698v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Flow matching assumes fully observed training data, which many real-world applications rarely provide. We propose Missing-Data Flow Matching, which treats the missing coordinates of training samples as latent variables and averages the flow matching loss over the values they could take. We first prove the correction is exact rather than approximate. Under missing completely at random with true completions, the incomplete-data objective equals the c...
