AltDiffusion

AltDiffusion was proposed in AltCLIP: Altering the Language Encoder in CLIP for Extended Language Capabilities by Zhongzhi Chen, Guang Liu, Bo-Wen Zhang, Fulong Ye, Qinghong Yang, Ledell Wu

The abstract of the paper is the following:

In this work, we present a conceptually simple and effective method to train a strong bilingual multimodal representation model. Starting from the pretrained multimodal representation model CLIP released by OpenAI, we switched its text encoder with a pretrained multilingual text encoder XLM-R, and aligned both languages and image representations by a two-stage training schema consisting of teacher learning and contrastive learning. We validate our method through evaluations of a wide range of tasks. We set new state-of-the-art performances on a bunch of tasks including ImageNet-CN, Flicker30k- CN, and COCO-CN. Further, we obtain very close performances with CLIP on almost all tasks, suggesting that one can simply alter the text encoder in CLIP for extended capabilities such as multilingual understanding.

##
Tips

- AltDiffusion is conceptually exaclty the same as Stable Diffusion.

- Run AltDiffusion

AltDiffusion can be tested very easily with the AltDiffusionPipeline, AltDiffusionImg2ImgPipeline and the `"BAAI/AltDiffusion-m9"` checkpoint exactly in the same way it is shown in the Conditional Image Generation Guide and the Image-to-Image Generation Guide.

- How to load and use different schedulers.

The alt diffusion pipeline uses DDIMScheduler scheduler by default. But `diffusers` provides many other schedulers that can be used with the alt diffusion pipeline such as PNDMScheduler, LMSDiscreteScheduler, EulerDiscreteScheduler, EulerAncestralDiscreteScheduler etc. To use a different scheduler, you can either change it via the ConfigMixin.from_config() method or pass the `scheduler` argument to the `from_pretrained` method of the pipeline. For example, to use the EulerDiscreteScheduler, you can do the following:

    >>> from diffusers import AltDiffusionPipeline, EulerDiscreteScheduler

    >>> pipeline = AltDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("BAAI/AltDiffusion-m9")
    >>> pipeline.scheduler = EulerDiscreteScheduler.from_config(pipeline.scheduler.config)

    >>> # or
    >>> euler_scheduler = EulerDiscreteScheduler.from_pretrained("BAAI/AltDiffusion-m9", subfolder="scheduler")
    >>> pipeline = AltDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("BAAI/AltDiffusion-m9", scheduler=euler_scheduler)

- How to convert all use cases with multiple or single pipeline

If you want to use all possible use cases in a single `DiffusionPipeline` we recommend using the `components` functionality to instantiate all components in the most memory-efficient way:

    >>> from diffusers import (
    ...     AltDiffusionPipeline,
    ...     AltDiffusionImg2ImgPipeline,
    ... )

    >>> text2img = AltDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("BAAI/AltDiffusion-m9")
    >>> img2img = AltDiffusionImg2ImgPipeline(**text2img.components)

    >>> # now you can use text2img(...) and img2img(...) just like the call methods of each respective pipeline

Parameters

- prompt (`str` or `List[str]`) — The prompt or prompts to guide the image generation.
- height (`int`, optional, defaults to self.unet.config.sample_size * self.vae_scale_factor) — The height in pixels of the generated image.
- width (`int`, optional, defaults to self.unet.config.sample_size * self.vae_scale_factor) — The width in pixels of the generated image.
- num_inference_steps (`int`, optional, defaults to 50) — The number of denoising steps. More denoising steps usually lead to a higher quality image at the expense of slower inference.
- guidance_scale (`float`, optional, defaults to 7.5) — Guidance scale as defined in Classifier-Free Diffusion Guidance. `guidance_scale` is defined as `w` of equation 2. of Imagen Paper. Guidance scale is enabled by setting `guidance_scale > 1`. Higher guidance scale encourages to generate images that are closely linked to the text `prompt`, usually at the expense of lower image quality.
- negative_prompt (`str` or `List[str]`, optional) — The prompt or prompts not to guide the image generation. Ignored when not using guidance (i.e., ignored if `guidance_scale` is less than `1`).
- num_images_per_prompt (`int`, optional, defaults to 1) — The number of images to generate per prompt.
- eta (`float`, optional, defaults to 0.0) — Corresponds to parameter eta (η) in the DDIM paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.02502. Only applies to schedulers.DDIMScheduler, will be ignored for others.
- generator (`torch.Generator`, optional) — One or a list of torch generator(s) to make generation deterministic.
- latents (`torch.FloatTensor`, optional) — Pre-generated noisy latents, sampled from a Gaussian distribution, to be used as inputs for image generation. Can be used to tweak the same generation with different prompts. If not provided, a latents tensor will ge generated by sampling using the supplied random `generator`.
- output_type (`str`, optional, defaults to `"pil"`) — The output format of the generate image. Choose between PIL: `PIL.Image.Image` or `np.array`.
- return_dict (`bool`, optional, defaults to `True`) — Whether or not to return a `~pipelines.stable_diffusion.AltDiffusionPipelineOutput` instead of a plain tuple.
- callback (`Callable`, optional) — A function that will be called every `callback_steps` steps during inference. The function will be called with the following arguments: `callback(step: int, timestep: int, latents: torch.FloatTensor)`.
- callback_steps (`int`, optional, defaults to 1) — The frequency at which the `callback` function will be called. If not specified, the callback will be called at every step.

Returns

`~pipelines.stable_diffusion.AltDiffusionPipelineOutput` or `tuple`

`~pipelines.stable_diffusion.AltDiffusionPipelineOutput` if `return_dict` is True, otherwise a `tuple. When returning a tuple, the first element is a list with the generated images, and the second element is a list of` bool`s denoting whether the corresponding generated image likely represents "not-safe-for-work" (nsfw) content, according to the` safety_checker`.

Function invoked when calling the pipeline for generation.

enable_attention_slicing

< source >

( slice_size: typing.Union[str, int, NoneType] = 'auto' )

Parameters

- slice_size (`str` or `int`, optional, defaults to `"auto"`) — When `"auto"`, halves the input to the attention heads, so attention will be computed in two steps. If `"max"`, maxium amount of memory will be saved by running only one slice at a time. If a number is provided, uses as many slices as `attention_head_dim // slice_size`. In this case, `attention_head_dim` must be a multiple of `slice_size`.

Enable sliced attention computation.

When this option is enabled, the attention module will split the input tensor in slices, to compute attention in several steps. This is useful to save some memory in exchange for a small speed decrease.

####
disable_attention_slicing

( )

Disable sliced attention computation. If `enable_attention_slicing` was previously invoked, this method will go back to computing attention in one step.

__call__

( prompt: typing.Union[str, typing.List[str]] image: typing.Union[torch.FloatTensor, PIL.Image.Image] = None strength: float = 0.8 num_inference_steps: typing.Optional[int] = 50 guidance_scale: typing.Optional[float] = 7.5 negative_prompt: typing.Union[str, typing.List[str], NoneType] = None num_images_per_prompt: typing.Optional[int] = 1 eta: typing.Optional[float] = 0.0 generator: typing.Union[torch._C.Generator, typing.List[torch._C.Generator], NoneType] = None output_type: typing.Optional[str] = 'pil' return_dict: bool = True callback: typing.Union[typing.Callable[[int, int, torch.FloatTensor], NoneType], NoneType] = None callback_steps: typing.Optional[int] = 1 **kwargs ) → `~pipelines.stable_diffusion.AltDiffusionPipelineOutput` or `tuple`

Parameters

- prompt (`str` or `List[str]`) — The prompt or prompts to guide the image generation.
- image (`torch.FloatTensor` or `PIL.Image.Image`) — `Image`, or tensor representing an image batch, that will be used as the starting point for the process.
- strength (`float`, optional, defaults to 0.8) — Conceptually, indicates how much to transform the reference `image`. Must be between 0 and 1. `image` will be used as a starting point, adding more noise to it the larger the `strength`. The number of denoising steps depends on the amount of noise initially added. When `strength` is 1, added noise will be maximum and the denoising process will run for the full number of iterations specified in `num_inference_steps`. A value of 1, therefore, essentially ignores `image`.
- num_inference_steps (`int`, optional, defaults to 50) — The number of denoising steps. More denoising steps usually lead to a higher quality image at the expense of slower inference. This parameter will be modulated by `strength`.
- guidance_scale (`float`, optional, defaults to 7.5) — Guidance scale as defined in Classifier-Free Diffusion Guidance. `guidance_scale` is defined as `w` of equation 2. of Imagen Paper. Guidance scale is enabled by setting `guidance_scale > 1`. Higher guidance scale encourages to generate images that are closely linked to the text `prompt`, usually at the expense of lower image quality.
- negative_prompt (`str` or `List[str]`, optional) — The prompt or prompts not to guide the image generation. Ignored when not using guidance (i.e., ignored if `guidance_scale` is less than `1`).
- num_images_per_prompt (`int`, optional, defaults to 1) — The number of images to generate per prompt.
- eta (`float`, optional, defaults to 0.0) — Corresponds to parameter eta (η) in the DDIM paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.02502. Only applies to schedulers.DDIMScheduler, will be ignored for others.
- generator (`torch.Generator`, optional) — One or a list of torch generator(s) to make generation deterministic.
- output_type (`str`, optional, defaults to `"pil"`) — The output format of the generate image. Choose between PIL: `PIL.Image.Image` or `np.array`.
- return_dict (`bool`, optional, defaults to `True`) — Whether or not to return a `~pipelines.stable_diffusion.AltDiffusionPipelineOutput` instead of a plain tuple.
- callback (`Callable`, optional) — A function that will be called every `callback_steps` steps during inference. The function will be called with the following arguments: `callback(step: int, timestep: int, latents: torch.FloatTensor)`.
- callback_steps (`int`, optional, defaults to 1) — The frequency at which the `callback` function will be called. If not specified, the callback will be called at every step.

Returns

`~pipelines.stable_diffusion.AltDiffusionPipelineOutput` or `tuple`

`~pipelines.stable_diffusion.AltDiffusionPipelineOutput` if `return_dict` is True, otherwise a `tuple. When returning a tuple, the first element is a list with the generated images, and the second element is a list of` bool`s denoting whether the corresponding generated image likely represents "not-safe-for-work" (nsfw) content, according to the` safety_checker`.
