关于文本到图像生成的研究在产生多样化和照片现实的图像方面取得了重大进展，这是由在大规模图像文本数据上训练的扩散和自动回归模型驱动的。尽管最先进的模型可以产生共同实体的高质量图像，但它们通常很难产生不常见的实体的图像，例如“ chortai（dog）”或“ picarones（食物）”。为了解决此问题，我们介绍了检索型的文本对图像生成器（Re-Imagen），这是一种生成模型，它使用检索到的信息来产生高保真和忠实的图像，即使对于稀有或看不见的实体也是如此。给定文本提示，重新构造访问外部多模式知识库以检索相关（图像，文本）对，并将它们用作引用来生成图像。通过此检索步骤，重新构造的知识是对上述实体的高级语义和低级视觉细节的了解，从而提高了其在产生实体视觉外观的准确性。我们在包含（图像，文本，检索）的构造数据集上训练Re-Imagen，以教导该模型在文本提示和检索上扎根。此外，我们制定了一种新的抽样策略，以使文本和检索条件的无分类指南交流，以平衡文本和检索对齐。 Re-Imagen在两个图像生成基准上获得了新的SOTA FID结果，例如Coco（IE，FID = 5.25）和Wikiimage（即FID = 5.82），而无需微调。为了进一步评估该模型的功能，我们介绍了EntityDrawBench，这是一种新的基准测试，可评估从多个视觉域的各种实体的图像生成，从频繁到稀有。人类对EntityDrawBench的评估表明，Re-Imagen与照片现实主义中最好的先前模型相同，但具有明显的忠诚，尤其是在较不频繁的实体上。

We present Muse, a text-to-image Transformer model that achieves state-of-the-art image generation performance while being significantly more efficient than diffusion or autoregressive models. Muse is trained on a masked modeling task in discrete token space: given the text embedding extracted from a pre-trained large language model (LLM), Muse is trained to predict randomly masked image tokens. Compared to pixel-space diffusion models, such as Imagen and DALL-E 2, Muse is significantly more efficient due to the use of discrete tokens and requiring fewer sampling iterations; compared to autoregressive models, such as Parti, Muse is more efficient due to the use of parallel decoding. The use of a pre-trained LLM enables fine-grained language understanding, translating to high-fidelity image generation and the understanding of visual concepts such as objects, their spatial relationships, pose, cardinality etc. Our 900M parameter model achieves a new SOTA on CC3M, with an FID score of 6.06. The Muse 3B parameter model achieves an FID of 7.88 on zero-shot COCO evaluation, along with a CLIP score of 0.32. Muse also directly enables a number of image editing applications without the need to fine-tune or invert the model: inpainting, outpainting, and mask-free editing.

数字艺术合成在多媒体社区中受到越来越多的关注，因为有效地与公众参与了艺术。当前的数字艺术合成方法通常使用单模式输入作为指导，从而限制了模型的表现力和生成结果的多样性。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了多模式引导的艺术品扩散（MGAD）模型，该模型是一种基于扩散的数字艺术品生成方法，它利用多模式提示作为控制无分类器扩散模型的指导。此外，对比度语言图像预处理（剪辑）模型用于统一文本和图像模式。关于生成的数字艺术绘画质量和数量的广泛实验结果证实了扩散模型和多模式指导的组合有效性。代码可从https://github.com/haha-lisa/mgad-multimodal-guided-artwork-diffusion获得。

最近已被证明扩散模型产生高质量的合成图像，尤其是与指导技术配对，以促进忠诚的多样性。我们探索文本条件图像综合问题的扩散模型，并比较了两种不同的指导策略：剪辑指导和自由分类指导。我们发现后者是人类评估者的优选，用于光敏和标题相似度，并且通常产生光素质拟种样品。使用自由分类指导的35亿参数文本条件扩散模型的样本由人类评估者对来自Dall-E的人的人们青睐，即使后者使用昂贵的剪辑重新划分。此外，我们发现我们的模型可以进行微调，以执行图像修复，从而实现强大的文本驱动的图像编辑。我们在过滤的数据集中培训较小的模型，并在https://github.com/openai/glide-text2im释放代码和权重。

Large-scale diffusion-based generative models have led to breakthroughs in text-conditioned high-resolution image synthesis. Starting from random noise, such text-to-image diffusion models gradually synthesize images in an iterative fashion while conditioning on text prompts. We find that their synthesis behavior qualitatively changes throughout this process: Early in sampling, generation strongly relies on the text prompt to generate text-aligned content, while later, the text conditioning is almost entirely ignored. This suggests that sharing model parameters throughout the entire generation process may not be ideal. Therefore, in contrast to existing works, we propose to train an ensemble of text-to-image diffusion models specialized for different synthesis stages. To maintain training efficiency, we initially train a single model, which is then split into specialized models that are trained for the specific stages of the iterative generation process. Our ensemble of diffusion models, called eDiff-I, results in improved text alignment while maintaining the same inference computation cost and preserving high visual quality, outperforming previous large-scale text-to-image diffusion models on the standard benchmark. In addition, we train our model to exploit a variety of embeddings for conditioning, including the T5 text, CLIP text, and CLIP image embeddings. We show that these different embeddings lead to different behaviors. Notably, the CLIP image embedding allows an intuitive way of transferring the style of a reference image to the target text-to-image output. Lastly, we show a technique that enables eDiff-I's "paint-with-words" capability. A user can select the word in the input text and paint it in a canvas to control the output, which is very handy for crafting the desired image in mind.

利用深度学习的最新进展，文本到图像生成模型目前具有吸引公众关注的优点。其中两个模型Dall-E 2和Imagen已经证明，可以从图像的简单文本描述中生成高度逼真的图像。基于一种称为扩散模型的新型图像生成方法，文本对图像模型可以生产许多不同类型的高分辨率图像，其中人类想象力是唯一的极限。但是，这些模型需要大量的计算资源来训练，并处理从互联网收集的大量数据集。此外，代码库和模型均未发布。因此，它可以防止AI社区尝试这些尖端模型，从而使其结果复制变得复杂，即使不是不可能。在本文中，我们的目标是首先回顾这些模型使用的不同方法和技术，然后提出我们自己的文本模型模型实施。高度基于DALL-E 2，我们引入了一些轻微的修改，以应对所引起的高计算成本。因此，我们有机会进行实验，以了解这些模型的能力，尤其是在低资源制度中。特别是，我们提供了比Dall-e 2的作者（包括消融研究）更深入的分析。此外，扩散模型使用所谓的指导方法来帮助生成过程。我们引入了一种新的指导方法，该方法可以与其他指导方法一起使用，以提高图像质量。最后，我们的模型产生的图像质量相当好，而不必维持最先进的文本对图像模型的重大培训成本。

可控图像合成模型允许根据文本指令或来自示例图像的指导创建不同的图像。最近，已经显示出去噪扩散概率模型比现有方法产生更现实的图像，并且已在无条件和类条件设置中成功展示。我们探索细粒度，连续控制该模型类，并引入了一种新颖的统一框架，用于语义扩散指导，允许语言或图像指导，或两者。使用图像文本或图像匹配分数的梯度将指导注入预训练的无条件扩散模型中。我们探讨基于剪辑的文本指导，以及以统一形式的基于内容和类型的图像指导。我们的文本引导综合方法可以应用于没有相关文本注释的数据集。我们对FFHQ和LSUN数据集进行实验，并显示出细粒度的文本引导图像合成的结果，与样式或内容示例图像相关的图像的合成，以及具有文本和图像引导的示例。

大型文本对图像模型在AI的演变中取得了显着的飞跃，从而使图像从给定的文本提示中实现了高质量和多样化的图像合成。但是，这些模型缺乏在给定的参考集中模仿受试者的外观，并在不同情况下合成它们的新颖性。在这项工作中，我们提出了一种新的方法，用于“个性化”文本图像扩散模型（将它们专门针对用户的需求）。仅作为一个主题的几张图像给出，我们将验证的文本对图像模型（图像，尽管我们的方法不限于特定模型），以便它学会了将唯一标识符与该特定主题结合。一旦将受试者嵌入模型的输出域中，就可以使用唯一标识符来合成主题的完全新颖的光真逼真的图像在不同场景中的上下文化。通过利用具有新的自动构基特异性的先前保存损失的语义先验嵌入到模型中，我们的技术可以在参考图像中未出现的不同场景，姿势，视图和照明条件中合成主题。我们将技术应用于几个以前无用的任务，包括主题重新定义，文本指导的视图合成，外观修改和艺术渲染（所有这些都保留了主题的关键特征）。项目页面：https：//dreambooth.github.io/

We introduce M-VADER: a diffusion model (DM) for image generation where the output can be specified using arbitrary combinations of images and text. We show how M-VADER enables the generation of images specified using combinations of image and text, and combinations of multiple images. Previously, a number of successful DM image generation algorithms have been introduced that make it possible to specify the output image using a text prompt. Inspired by the success of those models, and led by the notion that language was already developed to describe the elements of visual contexts that humans find most important, we introduce an embedding model closely related to a vision-language model. Specifically, we introduce the embedding model S-MAGMA: a 13 billion parameter multimodal decoder combining components from an autoregressive vision-language model MAGMA and biases finetuned for semantic search.

我们介绍了自回归文本到图像（Parti）模型的途径，该模型生成高保真的影像图像并支持涉及复杂组成和世界知识的内容丰富的合成。 Parti将文本对图像生成视为类似于机器翻译的序列到序列建模问题，图像令牌的序列是目标输出，而不是其他语言的文本令牌。这种策略自然可以利用大型语言模型的先前工作，通过扩展数据和模型尺寸，能力和性能的持续进展。我们的方法很简单：首先，Parti使用基于变压器的图像令牌VIT-VQGAN将图像编码为离散令牌的序列。其次，我们通过将编码器二次变压器模型缩放到20B参数来实现一致的质量改进，其新的最新零弹药FID得分为7.23，而MS-Coco的FIDED得分为3.22。我们对本地化叙述以及党的详细分析（P2），这是1600多个英语提示的新的整体基准，证明了Parti在各种类别和难度方面的有效性。我们还探索并突出了我们的模型的局限性，以定义和体现关注重点领域以进一步改进。有关高分辨率图像，请参见https://parti.research.google/。

扩散模型（DMS）显示出高质量图像合成的巨大潜力。但是，当涉及到具有复杂场景的图像时，如何正确描述图像全局结构和对象细节仍然是一项具有挑战性的任务。在本文中，我们提出了弗里多（Frido），这是一种特征金字塔扩散模型，该模型执行了图像合成的多尺度粗到1个降解过程。我们的模型将输入图像分解为依赖比例的矢量量化特征，然后是用于产生图像输出的粗到细门。在上述多尺度表示阶段，可以进一步利用文本，场景图或图像布局等其他输入条件。因此，还可以将弗里多应用于条件或跨模式图像合成。我们对各种无条件和有条件的图像生成任务进行了广泛的实验，从文本到图像综合，布局到图像，场景环形图像到标签形象。更具体地说，我们在五个基准测试中获得了最先进的FID分数，即可可和开阔图像的布局到图像，可可和视觉基因组的场景环形图像以及可可的标签对图像图像。 。代码可在https://github.com/davidhalladay/frido上找到。

随着信息中的各种方式存在于现实世界中的各种方式，多式联信息之间的有效互动和融合在计算机视觉和深度学习研究中的多模式数据的创造和感知中起着关键作用。通过卓越的功率，在多式联运信息中建模互动，多式联运图像合成和编辑近年来已成为一个热门研究主题。与传统的视觉指导不同，提供明确的线索，多式联路指南在图像合成和编辑方面提供直观和灵活的手段。另一方面，该领域也面临着具有固有的模态差距的特征的几个挑战，高分辨率图像的合成，忠实的评估度量等。在本调查中，我们全面地阐述了最近多式联运图像综合的进展根据数据模型和模型架构编辑和制定分类。我们从图像合成和编辑中的不同类型的引导方式开始介绍。然后，我们描述了多模式图像综合和编辑方法，其具有详细的框架，包括生成的对抗网络（GAN），GaN反转，变压器和其他方法，例如NERF和扩散模型。其次是在多模式图像合成和编辑中广泛采用的基准数据集和相应的评估度量的综合描述，以及分析各个优点和限制的不同合成方法的详细比较。最后，我们为目前的研究挑战和未来的研究方向提供了深入了解。与本调查相关的项目可在HTTPS://github.com/fnzhan/mise上获得

Recent works on diffusion models have demonstrated a strong capability for conditioning image generation, e.g., text-guided image synthesis. Such success inspires many efforts trying to use large-scale pre-trained diffusion models for tackling a challenging problem--real image editing. Works conducted in this area learn a unique textual token corresponding to several images containing the same object. However, under many circumstances, only one image is available, such as the painting of the Girl with a Pearl Earring. Using existing works on fine-tuning the pre-trained diffusion models with a single image causes severe overfitting issues. The information leakage from the pre-trained diffusion models makes editing can not keep the same content as the given image while creating new features depicted by the language guidance. This work aims to address the problem of single-image editing. We propose a novel model-based guidance built upon the classifier-free guidance so that the knowledge from the model trained on a single image can be distilled into the pre-trained diffusion model, enabling content creation even with one given image. Additionally, we propose a patch-based fine-tuning that can effectively help the model generate images of arbitrary resolution. We provide extensive experiments to validate the design choices of our approach and show promising editing capabilities, including changing style, content addition, and object manipulation. The code is available for research purposes at https://github.com/zhang-zx/SINE.git .

Text-driven person image generation is an emerging and challenging task in cross-modality image generation. Controllable person image generation promotes a wide range of applications such as digital human interaction and virtual try-on. However, previous methods mostly employ single-modality information as the prior condition (e.g. pose-guided person image generation), or utilize the preset words for text-driven human synthesis. Introducing a sentence composed of free words with an editable semantic pose map to describe person appearance is a more user-friendly way. In this paper, we propose HumanDiffusion, a coarse-to-fine alignment diffusion framework, for text-driven person image generation. Specifically, two collaborative modules are proposed, the Stylized Memory Retrieval (SMR) module for fine-grained feature distillation in data processing and the Multi-scale Cross-modality Alignment (MCA) module for coarse-to-fine feature alignment in diffusion. These two modules guarantee the alignment quality of the text and image, from image-level to feature-level, from low-resolution to high-resolution. As a result, HumanDiffusion realizes open-vocabulary person image generation with desired semantic poses. Extensive experiments conducted on DeepFashion demonstrate the superiority of our method compared with previous approaches. Moreover, better results could be obtained for complicated person images with various details and uncommon poses.

While generative models produce high-quality images of concepts learned from a large-scale database, a user often wishes to synthesize instantiations of their own concepts (for example, their family, pets, or items). Can we teach a model to quickly acquire a new concept, given a few examples? Furthermore, can we compose multiple new concepts together? We propose Custom Diffusion, an efficient method for augmenting existing text-to-image models. We find that only optimizing a few parameters in the text-to-image conditioning mechanism is sufficiently powerful to represent new concepts while enabling fast tuning (~6 minutes). Additionally, we can jointly train for multiple concepts or combine multiple fine-tuned models into one via closed-form constrained optimization. Our fine-tuned model generates variations of multiple, new concepts and seamlessly composes them with existing concepts in novel settings. Our method outperforms several baselines and concurrent works, regarding both qualitative and quantitative evaluations, while being memory and computationally efficient.

Score-based diffusion models have captured widespread attention and funded fast progress of recent vision generative tasks. In this paper, we focus on diffusion model backbone which has been much neglected before. We systematically explore vision Transformers as diffusion learners for various generative tasks. With our improvements the performance of vanilla ViT-based backbone (IU-ViT) is boosted to be on par with traditional U-Net-based methods. We further provide a hypothesis on the implication of disentangling the generative backbone as an encoder-decoder structure and show proof-of-concept experiments verifying the effectiveness of a stronger encoder for generative tasks with ASymmetriC ENcoder Decoder (ASCEND). Our improvements achieve competitive results on CIFAR-10, CelebA, LSUN, CUB Bird and large-resolution text-to-image tasks. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to successfully train a single diffusion model on text-to-image task beyond 64x64 resolution. We hope this will motivate people to rethink the modeling choices and the training pipelines for diffusion-based generative models.

Generic image inpainting aims to complete a corrupted image by borrowing surrounding information, which barely generates novel content. By contrast, multi-modal inpainting provides more flexible and useful controls on the inpainted content, \eg, a text prompt can be used to describe an object with richer attributes, and a mask can be used to constrain the shape of the inpainted object rather than being only considered as a missing area. We propose a new diffusion-based model named SmartBrush for completing a missing region with an object using both text and shape-guidance. While previous work such as DALLE-2 and Stable Diffusion can do text-guided inapinting they do not support shape guidance and tend to modify background texture surrounding the generated object. Our model incorporates both text and shape guidance with precision control. To preserve the background better, we propose a novel training and sampling strategy by augmenting the diffusion U-net with object-mask prediction. Lastly, we introduce a multi-task training strategy by jointly training inpainting with text-to-image generation to leverage more training data. We conduct extensive experiments showing that our model outperforms all baselines in terms of visual quality, mask controllability, and background preservation.

DeNoising扩散模型代表了计算机视觉中最新的主题，在生成建模领域表现出了显着的结果。扩散模型是一个基于两个阶段的深层生成模型，一个正向扩散阶段和反向扩散阶段。在正向扩散阶段，通过添加高斯噪声，输入数据在几个步骤中逐渐受到干扰。在反向阶段，模型的任务是通过学习逐步逆转扩散过程来恢复原始输入数据。尽管已知的计算负担，即由于采样过程中涉及的步骤数量，扩散模型对生成样品的质量和多样性得到了广泛赞赏。在这项调查中，我们对视觉中应用的denoising扩散模型的文章进行了全面综述，包括该领域的理论和实际贡献。首先，我们识别并介绍了三个通用扩散建模框架，这些框架基于扩散概率模型，噪声调节得分网络和随机微分方程。我们进一步讨论了扩散模型与其他深层生成模型之间的关系，包括变异自动编码器，生成对抗网络，基于能量的模型，自回归模型和正常流量。然后，我们介绍了计算机视觉中应用的扩散模型的多角度分类。最后，我们说明了扩散模型的当前局限性，并设想了一些有趣的未来研究方向。

Shape can specify key object constraints, yet existing text-to-image diffusion models ignore this cue and synthesize objects that are incorrectly scaled, cut off, or replaced with background content. We propose a training-free method, Shape-Guided Diffusion, which uses a novel Inside-Outside Attention mechanism to constrain the cross-attention (and self-attention) maps such that prompt tokens (and pixels) referring to the inside of the shape cannot attend outside the shape, and vice versa. To demonstrate the efficacy of our method, we propose a new image editing task where the model must replace an object specified by its mask and a text prompt. We curate a new ShapePrompts benchmark based on MS-COCO and achieve SOTA results in shape faithfulness, text alignment, and realism according to both quantitative metrics and human preferences. Our data and code will be made available at https://shape-guided-diffusion.github.io.

Generating photos satisfying multiple constraints find broad utility in the content creation industry. A key hurdle to accomplishing this task is the need for paired data consisting of all modalities (i.e., constraints) and their corresponding output. Moreover, existing methods need retraining using paired data across all modalities to introduce a new condition. This paper proposes a solution to this problem based on denoising diffusion probabilistic models (DDPMs). Our motivation for choosing diffusion models over other generative models comes from the flexible internal structure of diffusion models. Since each sampling step in the DDPM follows a Gaussian distribution, we show that there exists a closed-form solution for generating an image given various constraints. Our method can unite multiple diffusion models trained on multiple sub-tasks and conquer the combined task through our proposed sampling strategy. We also introduce a novel reliability parameter that allows using different off-the-shelf diffusion models trained across various datasets during sampling time alone to guide it to the desired outcome satisfying multiple constraints. We perform experiments on various standard multimodal tasks to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. More details can be found in https://nithin-gk.github.io/projectpages/Multidiff/index.html
