Exploring the Design Space of Transition Matching
This research systematically investigates the design space of Transition Matching (TM) models, a novel generative paradigm generalizing diffusion and flow-matching. Focusing on the continuous-time bidirectional variant, we explored head architecture, size, sequence scaling, batch size, time weighting, and novel stochastic sampling algorithms across 56 models (549 evaluations). Key findings reveal that an MLP-headed TM model, trained with specific time weighting and high-frequency stochastic sampling, achieves state-of-the-art performance. A Transformer-headed TM, with sequence scaling and low-frequency sampling, excels in image aesthetics. This comprehensive ablation study provides actionable guidelines for optimizing TM models for both generation quality and efficiency.

| Inference Speed | 0.8s (~5x faster than FM) | Competitive | 4s |
| Key Features | MLP head, specific time weighting | Transformer head, sequence scaling | Standard flow model |
A novel stochastic sampling algorithm significantly boosts generative quality in D-TM models without additional computational cost. MLP heads benefit most from high-frequency sampling, achieving the highest rank.
| Aspect | Optimal Choice for D-TM | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Backbone Time Weighting (t) | Log-normal (πln(0,1)) | Favorable for training |
| Head Time Weighting (s) | Beta or Log-normal | Works well for various profiles |
| Y Parameterization | Y = X1 - Xo (Difference TM) | Better than denoiser (Y=X1) or noise prediction (Y=Y0) due to singularity near t=0 and t=1, respectively |
