How would flow matching work? In language we have inputs and outputs but it's not clear what the intermediate points are since it's a discrete space.

One of the core ideas behind LLMs is that language is not a discrete space, but instead a multidimensional vector field where you can easily interpolate as needed. It's one of the reasons LLMs readily make up words that don't exist when translating text for example.

Not the input and output though, which is the important part for flow matching modeling. Unless you're proposing flow matching over the latent space?

Epstein @ Chomsky

> happy chanukah. has anyone in the past made a linguistic model that used fields instead of definitions. similar to a magnet field. to some degree. there is no one vector that describes the word but a field of them. home surrounded by a field of definitions. not based on 3 d space but based on context one could integrate over the field. see smoothness. strength, change.. not sure it is useful. but having fun
