This paper proposes novel applications for Hamiltonian mechanics in machine learning, introducing Hamiltonian velocity predictors (HVPs) to design force fields for Hamiltonian ODEs. The authors present two innovations: Hamiltonian Score Matching (HSM), which estimates score functions by augmenting data via Hamiltonian trajectories, and Hamiltonian Generative Flows (HGFs), a novel generative model combining diffusion models and flow matching. The paper also explores Oscillation HGFs, inspired by harmonic oscillators. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of these techniques.

This paper uses a special kind of math to help machines learn from data. It’s like designing a new way for a robot to move around. They created two new tools: one helps computers understand what they’re seeing, and another makes new pictures by changing old ones. The researchers also tried something new called “oscillating” patterns. They tested their ideas and found that they work really well.
