one. They do so by leveraging the change of variables formula, defining a
bijection from the simple distribution to the complex one.

For most of the time, the standard definition of flows, achieving the notable
results, was based on chaining several differentiable and invertible
transformations. However, these diffeomorphic transformations limit the flows in
their complexity as such have to be simple. Furthermore, this leads to trade-off
sampling speed and evaluation performance <d-cite

has been overcome and CNFs have been shown to be a powerful tool for density
estimation.

In the following sections, CNFs and Flow Matching are explained. Following the
explanation, the empirical results of Flow Matching are presented. Finally, the
application of Flow Matching in Simulation-based Inference is discussed, which
shall highlight their wide applicability and consistent improvement.
