+ # VeCoR: Velocity Contrastive Regularization for Flow Matching
10

+ [**Paper**](https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.18942) | [**Project Page**](https://p458732.github.io/VeCoR_Project_Page/) | [**GitHub**](https://github.com/p458732/VeCoR)

13
+ Velocity Contrastive Regularization (**VeCoR**) is a complementary training scheme for flow-based generative modeling that augments the standard Flow Matching (FM) objective with contrastive, two-sided supervision. VeCoR not only aligns the predicted velocity with a stable reference direction (positive supervision) but also pushes it away from inconsistent, off-manifold directions (negative supervision).
14
+
15
+ This formulation transforms FM from a purely attractive, one-sided objective into a two-sided training signal, regularizing trajectory evolution and improving perceptual fidelity across datasets and backbones, particularly in low-step and lightweight settings.

+
17
+ ## Performance
18
+ On ImageNet-1K 256x256, VeCoR achieves **FID=1.94** (SiT-XL/2 backbone), demonstrating significant gains in stability and image quality. It also shows consistent improvements in MS-COCO text-to-image generation.
