SDFlow: Similarity-Driven Flow Matching for Time Series Generation
Quick summary
arXiv:2605.05736v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Vector quantization (VQ) with autoregressive (AR) token modeling is a widely adopted and highly competitive paradigm for time-series generation. However, such models are fundamentally limited by exposure bias: during inference, errors can accumulate across sequential predictions, leading to pronounced quality degradation in long-horizon generation. To address this, we propose SDFlow ($\textbf{S}$imilarity-$\textbf{D}$riven $\textbf{Flow}$ Matching), a non-autoregressive framework that operates entirely in the frozen VQ latent space and enable
