We present simulation-free score and flow matching ([SF]$^2$M), a simulation-free objective for inferring stochastic dynamics given unpaired samples drawn from arbitrary source and target distributions. Our method generalizes both the…

In this work, we develop a collection of novel methods for the entropic-regularised optimal transport problem, which are inspired by existing mirror descent interpretations of the Sinkhorn algorithm used for solving this problem. These are…
