• Authors: Claudius Krause and David Shih
• Abstract summary: Recently, we introduced CaloFlow, a high-fidelity generative model for GEANT4 calorimeter shower emulation based on normalizing flows. Here, we present CaloFlow v2, an improvement on our original framework that speeds up shower generation by a further factor of 500 relative to the original.

• Abstract: Recently, we introduced CaloFlow, a high-fidelity generative model for GEANT4 calorimeter shower emulation based on normalizing flows. Here, we present CaloFlow v2, an improvement on our original framework that speeds up shower generation by a further factor of 500 relative to the original. The improvement is based on a technique called Probability Density Distillation, originally developed for speech synthesis in the ML literature, and which we develop further by introducing a set of powerful new loss terms. We demonstrate that CaloFlow v2 preserves the same high fidelity of the original using qualitative (average images, histograms of high level features) and quantitative (classifier metric between GEANT4 and generated samples) measures. The result is a generative model for calorimeter showers that matches the state-of-the-art in speed (a factor of $10^4$ faster than GEANT4) and greatly surpasses the previous state-of-the-art in fidelity.

• Gaussian Mixture Flow Matching Models [51.976452482535954]
  Diffusion models approximate the denoising distribution as a Gaussian and predict its mean, whereas flow matching models re parameterize the Gaussian mean as flow velocity. They underperform in few-step sampling due to discretization error and tend to produce over-saturated colors under classifier-free guidance (CFG) We introduce a novel probabilistic guidance scheme that mitigates the over-saturation issues of CFG and improves image generation quality.
