Fréchet distance has recently emerged as an effective distribution-level objective for generator post-training, complementing the conventional sample-level diffusion and flow-matching losses. However, directly optimizing Fréchet objectives can cause Fréchet hacking. The target metrics keep improving, but visual quality and Fréchet alignment in other feature spaces may stagnate or deteriorate. We attribute this failure to the static pretrained feature spaces used by existing Fréchet losses. These feature spaces provide incomplete and fixed views of the differences between real and generated distributions. To address this limitation, we propose Adversarial Fréchet Distance (AdvFD), which complements the static representation targets in FD-Loss with a calibrated adversarially learned representation. AdvFD augments the original static Fréchet objective with a learnable representation that adversarially maximizes the Fréchet discrepancy between real and generated samples, while the generator minimizes the same discrepancy in the resulting adaptive feature space. To prevent the adversarial representation from trivially increasing the objective through feature amplification, we further introduce real-feature whitening, which normalizes its scale and covariance geometry and stabilizes the min--max optimization. Extensive experiments show that AdvFD consistently improves one-step generator post-training across both JiT and pMF backbones and across different model scales.
AdvFD:用对抗式弗雷歇距离损失提升视觉生成模型后训练
AdvFD 提出对抗式弗雷歇距离损失,以解决现有弗雷歇损失因静态预训练特征空间导致的“弗雷歇黑客”问题——目标指标提升但视觉质量下降。该方法引入可学习的对抗表征,并配合真实特征白化稳定最小-最大优化。实验表明,AdvFD 在 JiT 和 pMF 骨干网络及不同模型规模上均能稳定提升一步生成模型的后训练效果。
