BridgeTwist: Twisting Schrödinger Bridges for Training-Free Conditional Sampling
Generative models are often required to serve many downstream conditional tasks. In the training-free setting, a pretrained unconditional model is reused as a prior and combined with a task-specific likelihood to sample from the corresponding posterior. While such training-free samplers have been developed for diffusion and flow models, their counterpart for Schrödinger bridge (SB) models remains unexplored, despite the growing appeal of SBs as flexible stochastic transport models between general source and target distributions. We propose BridgeTwist, a training-free conditional sampler for pretrained SB generative models, formulated as a tempered twisted sequential Monte Carlo scheme. I...
