Honor transform_scale in RFlowScheduler timestep transforms by Don-Yin · Pull Request #9203 · Project-MONAI/MONAI

Don-Yin · 2026-10-20T18:42:46Z

Description

I found that changing RFlowScheduler(transform_scale=...) has no effect when use_timestep_transform=True: the value is stored, but both calls to timestep_transform use its default scale=1.0.

I now pass the configured scale when setting inference timesteps and when sampling training timesteps. The default transform_scale=1.0 behavior is unchanged. The constructor now also rejects a non-positive transform_scale when the transform is enabled, since it would otherwise divide by zero in timestep_transform. I added regression tests for scales 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0, covering 2D and 3D inputs, discrete and continuous timesteps, and both uniform and logit-normal training sampling.

Evidence

The figure uses a synthetic 32 × 32 × 32 input and an equally sized reference volume, 1,000 training timesteps, and 20 continuous inference steps. Before the fix, all three schedules coincide. After the fix, each scale produces the intended schedule. Marker positions are interleaved to reveal coincident traces without changing any values.

Verification

I ran python -m unittest -v tests.networks.schedulers.test_scheduler_rflow: the new non-default-scale cases produced 24 failures before the fix, and all 44 tests pass after the fix. All 96 scheduler tests also pass with python -m unittest discover -v -s tests/networks/schedulers -p 'test_*.py'. I checked the two changed files with Black 26.10.0, isort 9.0.2, Ruff 0.16.10, and git diff --check.

Types of changes

Non-breaking change (fix or new feature that would not break existing functionality).
New tests added to cover the changes.

I used an AI coding assistant to help investigate and draft this; I reviewed and tested every change.

Pass the configured transformation scale to inference and training timestep transforms instead of always using the helper's default. Add deterministic regression coverage for both paths while preserving the default scale. Signed-off-by: Don Yin <Don_Yin@outlook.com> Assisted-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

📝 Walkthrough

RFlowScheduler now validates positive transform_scale values when timestep transformation is enabled. Inference and training timestep transformations use the configured scale. Parameterized tests cover scale values, spatial dimensions, discrete and continuous modes, sampling methods, and validation behavior.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to b3281

The configured scale is reported to apply to inference and training timesteps, with validation and regression tests added. No actionable merge-blocking risk is established.

A zero or negative scale makes timestep_transform divide by zero on the first inference timestep. Raise a ValueError in the constructor instead; zero is still accepted when the transform is disabled, since the value is unused then.
