Add model card and metadata
Browse filesHi! I'm Niels from the community science team at Hugging Face. I noticed this repository is missing a model card and metadata. I've opened this PR to add a README that includes links to the paper, project page, and code, as well as metadata to improve the model's discoverability and documentation.

# VeCoR: Velocity Contrastive Regularization for Flow Matching
|
| 10 |

|

[**Paper**](https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.18942) | [**Project Page**](https://p458732.github.io/VeCoR_Project_Page/) | [**GitHub**](https://github.com/p458732/VeCoR)

+
Velocity Contrastive Regularization (**VeCoR**) is a complementary training scheme for flow-based generative modeling that augments the standard Flow Matching (FM) objective with contrastive, two-sided supervision. VeCoR not only aligns the predicted velocity with a stable reference direction (positive supervision) but also pushes it away from inconsistent, off-manifold directions (negative supervision).

+
|
| 15 |
+
This formulation transforms FM from a purely attractive, one-sided objective into a two-sided training signal, regularizing trajectory evolution and improving perceptual fidelity across datasets and backbones, particularly in low-step and lightweight settings.

+
## Performance
|
| 18 |
+
On ImageNet-1K 256x256, VeCoR achieves **FID=1.94** (SiT-XL/2 backbone), demonstrating significant gains in stability and image quality. It also shows consistent improvements in MS-COCO text-to-image generation.
