Large, text-conditioned generative diffusion models have recently gained a lot of attention for their impressive performance in generating high-fidelity images from text alone. However, achieving high-quality results is almost unfeasible in a one-shot fashion. On the contrary, text-guided image generation involves the user making many slight changes to inputs in order to iteratively carve out the envisioned image. However, slight changes to the input prompt often lead to entirely different images being generated, and thus the control of the artist is limited in its granularity. To provide flexibility, we present the Stable Artist, an image editing approach enabling fine-grained control of the image generation process. The main component is semantic guidance (SEGA) which steers the diffusion process along variable numbers of semantic directions. This allows for subtle edits to images, changes in composition and style, as well as optimization of the overall artistic conception. Furthermore, SEGA enables probing of latent spaces to gain insights into the representation of concepts learned by the model, even complex ones such as 'carbon emission'. We demonstrate the Stable Artist on several tasks, showcasing high-quality image editing and composition.

Text-conditioned image generation models have recently achieved astonishing results in image quality and text alignment and are consequently employed in a fast-growing number of applications. Since they are highly data-driven, relying on billion-sized datasets randomly scraped from the internet, they also suffer, as we demonstrate, from degenerated and biased human behavior. In turn, they may even reinforce such biases. To help combat these undesired side effects, we present safe latent diffusion (SLD). Specifically, to measure the inappropriate degeneration due to unfiltered and imbalanced training sets, we establish a novel image generation test bed-inappropriate image prompts (I2P)-containing dedicated, real-world image-to-text prompts covering concepts such as nudity and violence. As our exhaustive empirical evaluation demonstrates, the introduced SLD removes and suppresses inappropriate image parts during the diffusion process, with no additional training required and no adverse effect on overall image quality or text alignment.

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.

最近，大规模文本驱动的合成模型由于其出色的产生高度多样化的图像而引起了很多关注，这些图像遵循给定的文本提示。这种基于文本的综合方法特别有吸引力，这些方法对人类用来口头描述其意图。因此，将文本驱动的图像合成扩展到文本驱动的图像编辑是很自然的。编辑对于这些生成模型来说是具有挑战性的，因为编辑技术的先天属性是保留大多数原始图像，而在基于文本的模型中，即使对文本提示的小修改也通常会导致完全不同的结果。最先进的方法可以通过要求用户提供空间掩码来本地化编辑，从而忽略蒙版区域内的原始结构和内容，从而减轻这种方法。在本文中，我们追求一个直观的及时提示编辑框架，其中编辑仅由文本控制。为此，我们深入分析了一个文本条件模型，并观察到跨注意层是控制图像的空间布局与提示中每个单词之间关系的关键。通过此观察，我们提出了几种应用程序，它们仅通过编辑文本提示来监视图像综合。这包括通过替换单词，通过添加规范来替换单词编辑的本地化编辑，甚至精心控制单词在图像中反映的程度。我们介绍了各种图像和提示的结果，证明了对编辑提示的高质量综合和忠诚度。

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.

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.

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。

文本对图像模型提供了前所未有的自由，可以通过自然语言指导创作。然而，尚不清楚如何行使这种自由以生成特定独特概念，修改其外观或以新角色和新颖场景构成它们的图像。换句话说，我们问：我们如何使用语言指导的模型将猫变成绘画，或者想象基于我们喜欢的玩具的新产品？在这里，我们提出了一种简单的方法，可以允许这种创造性自由。我们仅使用3-5个用户提供的概念（例如对象或样式）的图像，我们学会通过在冷冻文本到图像模型的嵌入空间中通过新的“单词”表示它。这些“单词”可以组成自然语言句子，以直观的方式指导个性化的创作。值得注意的是，我们发现有证据表明单词嵌入足以捕获独特而多样的概念。我们将我们的方法比较了各种基线，并证明它可以更忠实地描绘出一系列应用程序和任务的概念。我们的代码，数据和新单词将在以下网址提供：https：//textual-inversion.github.io

从开放式域文本提示中生成和编辑图像是迄今为止需要昂贵且经过特殊训练的型号的一项挑战性的任务。我们为这两个任务展示了一种新颖的方法，该方法能够通过使用多模式编码器来指导图像世代，从而从具有显着语义复杂性的文本提示中产生高视觉质量的图像。我们在各种任务上说明了如何使用夹[37]引导VQGAN [11]产生的视觉质量输出比先前的较不灵活的方法，例如DALL-E [38]，Glide [33]和Open-Edit [24]，尽管没有接受培训的任务。我们的代码在公共存储库中可用。

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。

Denoising diffusion models (DDMs) have led to staggering performance leaps in image generation, editing and restoration. However, existing DDMs use very large datasets for training. Here, we introduce a framework for training a DDM on a single image. Our method, which we coin SinDDM, learns the internal statistics of the training image by using a multi-scale diffusion process. To drive the reverse diffusion process, we use a fully-convolutional light-weight denoiser, which is conditioned on both the noise level and the scale. This architecture allows generating samples of arbitrary dimensions, in a coarse-to-fine manner. As we illustrate, SinDDM generates diverse high-quality samples, and is applicable in a wide array of tasks, including style transfer and harmonization. Furthermore, it can be easily guided by external supervision. Particularly, we demonstrate text-guided generation from a single image using a pre-trained CLIP model.

自然语言为图像编辑提供高度直观的界面。在本文中，我们基于自然语言描述与ROI掩模一起介绍用于在通用自然图像中执行局部（基于区域的）编辑的第一解决方案。我们通过利用并结合预先训练的语言图像模型（CLIP）来实现我们的目标，以使编辑朝向用户提供的文本提示，具有去噪扩散概率模型（DDPM）来产生自然的结果。为了使编辑区域与图像的不变部分无缝熔化，我们在噪声水平的进展下使用本地文本引导的扩散潜伏在空间上混合输入图像的声明版本。此外，我们表明向扩散过程增加增强，减轻了对抗性结果。我们与定性和定量的几个基线和相关方法进行比较，并表明我们的方法在整体现实主义方面优于这些解决方案，保留背景和匹配文本的能力。最后，我们显示了多个文本驱动的编辑应用程序，包括将新对象添加到图像，删除/替换/更改现有对象，背景替换和图像外推。

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.

Text-guided image editing can have a transformative impact in supporting creative applications. A key challenge is to generate edits that are faithful to input text prompts, while consistent with input images. We present Imagen Editor, a cascaded diffusion model built, by fine-tuning Imagen on text-guided image inpainting. Imagen Editor's edits are faithful to the text prompts, which is accomplished by using object detectors to propose inpainting masks during training. In addition, Imagen Editor captures fine details in the input image by conditioning the cascaded pipeline on the original high resolution image. To improve qualitative and quantitative evaluation, we introduce EditBench, a systematic benchmark for text-guided image inpainting. EditBench evaluates inpainting edits on natural and generated images exploring objects, attributes, and scenes. Through extensive human evaluation on EditBench, we find that object-masking during training leads to across-the-board improvements in text-image alignment -- such that Imagen Editor is preferred over DALL-E 2 and Stable Diffusion -- and, as a cohort, these models are better at object-rendering than text-rendering, and handle material/color/size attributes better than count/shape attributes.

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.

Generative models have been widely studied in computer vision. Recently, diffusion models have drawn substantial attention due to the high quality of their generated images. A key desired property of image generative models is the ability to disentangle different attributes, which should enable modification towards a style without changing the semantic content, and the modification parameters should generalize to different images. Previous studies have found that generative adversarial networks (GANs) are inherently endowed with such disentanglement capability, so they can perform disentangled image editing without re-training or fine-tuning the network. In this work, we explore whether diffusion models are also inherently equipped with such a capability. Our finding is that for stable diffusion models, by partially changing the input text embedding from a neutral description (e.g., "a photo of person") to one with style (e.g., "a photo of person with smile") while fixing all the Gaussian random noises introduced during the denoising process, the generated images can be modified towards the target style without changing the semantic content. Based on this finding, we further propose a simple, light-weight image editing algorithm where the mixing weights of the two text embeddings are optimized for style matching and content preservation. This entire process only involves optimizing over around 50 parameters and does not fine-tune the diffusion model itself. Experiments show that the proposed method can modify a wide range of attributes, with the performance outperforming diffusion-model-based image-editing algorithms that require fine-tuning. The optimized weights generalize well to different images. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/UCSB-NLP-Chang/DiffusionDisentanglement.

Curating datasets for object segmentation is a difficult task. With the advent of large-scale pre-trained generative models, conditional image generation has been given a significant boost in result quality and ease of use. In this paper, we present a novel method that enables the generation of general foreground-background segmentation models from simple textual descriptions, without requiring segmentation labels. We leverage and explore pre-trained latent diffusion models, to automatically generate weak segmentation masks for concepts and objects. The masks are then used to fine-tune the diffusion model on an inpainting task, which enables fine-grained removal of the object, while at the same time providing a synthetic foreground and background dataset. We demonstrate that using this method beats previous methods in both discriminative and generative performance and closes the gap with fully supervised training while requiring no pixel-wise object labels. We show results on the task of segmenting four different objects (humans, dogs, cars, birds).

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/

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/。

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.
