contents Learned field transformations may help address ubiquitous critical slowing down and signal-to-noise problems in lattice field theory. In the context of an annealed sequence of distributions, field transformations are defined by integrating flow fields that exactly solve a local transport problem. These proceedings discuss a new Monte Carlo approach to evaluating these flow fields, which can then be used directly in such contexts or as a means of generating unbiased training data for machine learning approaches. By defining the Monte Carlo estimator using coupled Langevin noise, the statistical noise in the required integrals is significantly mitigated. Demonstrations of the method include a U(1) transport problem and an SU(N) glueball correlator.
