Continuous normalizing flows represent a density transformation from an initial to a final density through tiny increments, without requiring a particular Markovian or diffusion-style structure.

“well, why don't we go away from this Markovian structure in the first place? What if we say...”

“uh or maybe not from this macobian structure but maybe from a specific let's say like uh diffusion style like this Fokker Planck style, what if instead we translate phrases as like reparametrising a density from beginning to end, kind of in tiny tiny increments. And that then gives you uh what is effectively these flow measures or like uh the c or more generally continuous normalising flows. Continuous normalising flows are effectively phrasing the problem”
