Zhengyan Wan

I am a Master's student in the School of Statistics at East China Normal University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Fang Fang. Currently, I’m a visiting student in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), supervised by Prof. Qiang Sun. Previously, I received my Bachelor's degree in Statistics from the School of Mathematics at Jilin University. I am mainly interested in generative models, deep learning theory and high-dimensional statistics.

Discrete Guidance Matching: Exact Guidance for Discrete Flow Matching  [Code]
Zhengyan Wan*, Yidong Ouyang*, Liyan Xie, Fang Fang, Hongyuan Zha, Guang Cheng
ICLR, 2026

We derive the exact transition rate for the desired distribution given a learned discrete flow matching model, leading to guidance that only requires a single forward pass in each sampling step, significantly improving sampling efficiency.
