Variational Flow Maps (VFM) recasts conditional generation as a problem of learning the right initial noise distribution for a pretrained or jointly trained one-step flow map. An observation-dependent adapter transforms simple noise before the flow map sends it to data space, enforcing the measurement while retaining the learned data prior.
