July 2022

Inference code and model weights to run our retrieval-augmented diffusion models are now available. See this section.

April 2022

Thanks to Katherine Crowson, classifier-free guidance received a ~2x speedup and the PLMS sampler is available. See also this PR.
Our 1.45B latent diffusion LAION model was integrated into Huggingface Spaces 🤗 using Gradio. Try out the Web Demo:
More pre-trained LDMs are available:
- A 1.45B model trained on the LAION-400M database.
- A class-conditional model on ImageNet, achieving a FID of 3.6 when using classifier-free guidance Available via a colab notebook .

Requirements

A suitable conda environment named ldm can be created and activated with:

conda env create -f environment.yaml
conda activate ldm

Pretrained Models

A general list of all available checkpoints is available in via our model zoo. If you use any of these models in your work, we are always happy to receive a citation.

Retrieval Augmented Diffusion Models

We include inference code to run our retrieval-augmented diffusion models (RDMs) as described in https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.11824.

To get started, install the additionally required python packages into your ldm environment

pip install transformers==4.19.2 scann kornia==0.6.4 torchmetrics==0.6.0
pip install git+https://github.com/arogozhnikov/einops.git

and download the trained weights (preliminary ceckpoints):

mkdir -p models/rdm/rdm768x768/
wget -O models/rdm/rdm768x768/model.ckpt https://ommer-lab.com/files/rdm/model.ckpt

As these models are conditioned on a set of CLIP image embeddings, our RDMs support different inference modes, which are described in the following.

RDM with text-prompt only (no explicit retrieval needed)

Since CLIP offers a shared image/text feature space, and RDMs learn to cover a neighborhood of a given example during training, we can directly take a CLIP text embedding of a given prompt and condition on it. Run this mode via

python scripts/knn2img.py  --prompt "a happy bear reading a newspaper, oil on canvas"

RDM with text-to-image retrieval

To be able to run a RDM conditioned on a text-prompt and additionally images retrieved from this prompt, you will also need to download the corresponding retrieval database. We provide two distinct databases extracted from the Openimages- and ArtBench- datasets. Interchanging the databases results in different capabilities of the model as visualized below, although the learned weights are the same in both cases.

Download the retrieval-databases which contain the retrieval-datasets (Openimages (~11GB) and ArtBench (~82MB)) compressed into CLIP image embeddings:

mkdir -p data/rdm/retrieval_databases
wget -O data/rdm/retrieval_databases/artbench.zip https://ommer-lab.com/files/rdm/artbench_databases.zip
wget -O data/rdm/retrieval_databases/openimages.zip https://ommer-lab.com/files/rdm/openimages_database.zip
unzip data/rdm/retrieval_databases/artbench.zip -d data/rdm/retrieval_databases/
unzip data/rdm/retrieval_databases/openimages.zip -d data/rdm/retrieval_databases/

We also provide trained ScaNN search indices for ArtBench. Download and extract via

mkdir -p data/rdm/searchers
wget -O data/rdm/searchers/artbench.zip https://ommer-lab.com/files/rdm/artbench_searchers.zip
unzip data/rdm/searchers/artbench.zip -d data/rdm/searchers

Since the index for OpenImages is large (~21 GB), we provide a script to create and save it for usage during sampling. Note however, that sampling with the OpenImages database will not be possible without this index. Run the script via

python scripts/train_searcher.py

Retrieval based text-guided sampling with visual nearest neighbors can be started via

python scripts/knn2img.py  --prompt "a happy pineapple" --use_neighbors --knn <number_of_neighbors>

Note that the maximum supported number of neighbors is 20. The database can be changed via the cmd parameter --database which can be [openimages, artbench-art_nouveau, artbench-baroque, artbench-expressionism, artbench-impressionism, artbench-post_impressionism, artbench-realism, artbench-renaissance, artbench-romanticism, artbench-surrealism, artbench-ukiyo_e]. For using --database openimages, the above script (scripts/train_searcher.py) must be executed before. Due to their relatively small size, the artbench datasetbases are best suited for creating more abstract concepts and do not work well for detailed text control.

Text-to-Image

Download the pre-trained weights (5.7GB)

mkdir -p models/ldm/text2img-large/
wget -O models/ldm/text2img-large/model.ckpt https://ommer-lab.com/files/latent-diffusion/nitro/txt2img-f8-large/model.ckpt

and sample with

python scripts/txt2img.py --prompt "a virus monster is playing guitar, oil on canvas" --ddim_eta 0.0 --n_samples 4 --n_iter 4 --scale 5.0  --ddim_steps 50

This will save each sample individually as well as a grid of size n_iter x n_samples at the specified output location (default: outputs/txt2img-samples). Quality, sampling speed and diversity are best controlled via the scale, ddim_steps and ddim_eta arguments. As a rule of thumb, higher values of scale produce better samples at the cost of a reduced output diversity.
Furthermore, increasing ddim_steps generally also gives higher quality samples, but returns are diminishing for values > 250. Fast sampling (i.e. low values of ddim_steps) while retaining good quality can be achieved by using --ddim_eta 0.0.
Faster sampling (i.e. even lower values of ddim_steps) while retaining good quality can be achieved by using --ddim_eta 0.0 and --plms (see Pseudo Numerical Methods for Diffusion Models on Manifolds).

Beyond 256²

For certain inputs, simply running the model in a convolutional fashion on larger features than it was trained on can sometimes result in interesting results. To try it out, tune the H and W arguments (which will be integer-divided by 8 in order to calculate the corresponding latent size), e.g. run

python scripts/txt2img.py --prompt "a sunset behind a mountain range, vector image" --ddim_eta 1.0 --n_samples 1 --n_iter 1 --H 384 --W 1024 --scale 5.0

to create a sample of size 384x1024. Note, however, that controllability is reduced compared to the 256x256 setting.

The example below was generated using the above command.

Inpainting

Download the pre-trained weights

wget -O models/ldm/inpainting_big/last.ckpt https://heibox.uni-heidelberg.de/f/4d9ac7ea40c64582b7c9/?dl=1

and sample with

python scripts/inpaint.py --indir data/inpainting_examples/ --outdir outputs/inpainting_results

indir should contain images *.png and masks <image_fname>_mask.png like the examples provided in data/inpainting_examples.

Class-Conditional ImageNet

Available via a notebook .

Unconditional Models

We also provide a script for sampling from unconditional LDMs (e.g. LSUN, FFHQ, ...). Start it via

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=<GPU_ID> python scripts/sample_diffusion.py -r models/ldm/<model_spec>/model.ckpt -l <logdir> -n <\#samples> --batch_size <batch_size> -c <\#ddim steps> -e <\#eta>

Train your own LDMs

Data preparation

Faces

For downloading the CelebA-HQ and FFHQ datasets, proceed as described in the taming-transformers repository.

LSUN

The LSUN datasets can be conveniently downloaded via the script available here. We performed a custom split into training and validation images, and provide the corresponding filenames at https://ommer-lab.com/files/lsun.zip. After downloading, extract them to ./data/lsun. The beds/cats/churches subsets should also be placed/symlinked at ./data/lsun/bedrooms/./data/lsun/cats/./data/lsun/churches, respectively.

ImageNet

The code will try to download (through Academic Torrents) and prepare ImageNet the first time it is used. However, since ImageNet is quite large, this requires a lot of disk space and time. If you already have ImageNet on your disk, you can speed things up by putting the data into ${XDG_CACHE}/autoencoders/data/ILSVRC2012_{split}/data/ (which defaults to ~/.cache/autoencoders/data/ILSVRC2012_{split}/data/), where {split} is one of train/validation. It should have the following structure:

${XDG_CACHE}/autoencoders/data/ILSVRC2012_{split}/data/
├── n01440764
│   ├── n01440764_10026.JPEG
│   ├── n01440764_10027.JPEG
│   ├── ...
├── n01443537
│   ├── n01443537_10007.JPEG
│   ├── n01443537_10014.JPEG
│   ├── ...
├── ...

If you haven't extracted the data, you can also place ILSVRC2012_img_train.tar/ILSVRC2012_img_val.tar (or symlinks to them) into ${XDG_CACHE}/autoencoders/data/ILSVRC2012_train/ / ${XDG_CACHE}/autoencoders/data/ILSVRC2012_validation/, which will then be extracted into above structure without downloading it again. Note that this will only happen if neither a folder ${XDG_CACHE}/autoencoders/data/ILSVRC2012_{split}/data/ nor a file ${XDG_CACHE}/autoencoders/data/ILSVRC2012_{split}/.ready exist. Remove them if you want to force running the dataset preparation again.

Model Training

Logs and checkpoints for trained models are saved to logs/<START_DATE_AND_TIME>_<config_spec>.

Training autoencoder models

Configs for training a KL-regularized autoencoder on ImageNet are provided at configs/autoencoder. Training can be started by running

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=<GPU_ID> python main.py --base configs/autoencoder/<config_spec>.yaml -t --gpus 0,

where config_spec is one of {autoencoder_kl_8x8x64(f=32, d=64), autoencoder_kl_16x16x16(f=16, d=16), autoencoder_kl_32x32x4(f=8, d=4), autoencoder_kl_64x64x3(f=4, d=3)}.

For training VQ-regularized models, see the taming-transformers repository.

Training LDMs

In configs/latent-diffusion/ we provide configs for training LDMs on the LSUN-, CelebA-HQ, FFHQ and ImageNet datasets. Training can be started by running

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=<GPU_ID> python main.py --base configs/latent-diffusion/<config_spec>.yaml -t --gpus 0,

where <config_spec> is one of {celebahq-ldm-vq-4(f=4, VQ-reg. autoencoder, spatial size 64x64x3),ffhq-ldm-vq-4(f=4, VQ-reg. autoencoder, spatial size 64x64x3), lsun_bedrooms-ldm-vq-4(f=4, VQ-reg. autoencoder, spatial size 64x64x3), lsun_churches-ldm-vq-4(f=8, KL-reg. autoencoder, spatial size 32x32x4),cin-ldm-vq-8(f=8, VQ-reg. autoencoder, spatial size 32x32x4)}.
