Triangular-Reference Schr\"odinger Bridges for Time Series Generation

arXiv CS.LG

We introduce Triangular-Reference Schrödinger Bridges for Time Series (TR-SBTS), a conservative extension of the SBTS framework in which the Brownian reference is replaced by an intervalwise frozen, possibly degenerate diffusion reference, triangular across a hierarchy of latent volatility levels. The construction is a single entropy projection on the augmented state space, with the variational constraint imposed jointly across time and the latent levels and unfolded hierarchically by the disint
