## Imagen - Pytorch



Implementation of Imagen, Google's Text-to-Image Neural Network that beats DALL-E2, in Pytorch. It is the new SOTA for text-to-image synthesis.



Architecturally, it is actually much simpler than DALL-E2. It consists of a cascading DDPM conditioned on text embeddings from a large pretrained T5 model (attention network). It also contains dynamic clipping for improved classifier free guidance, noise level conditioning, and a memory efficient unet design.



It appears neither CLIP nor prior network is needed after all. And so research continues.

## Install



```bash

$ pip install imagen-pytorch

```



## Usage



```python

import torch

from imagen_pytorch import Unet, Imagen



# unet for imagen



unet1 = Unet(

    dim = 32,

    cond_dim = 512,

    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8),

    num_resnet_blocks = 3,

    layer_attns = (False, True, True, True),

    layer_cross_attns = (False, True, True, True)

)



unet2 = Unet(

    dim = 32,

    cond_dim = 512,

    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8),

    num_resnet_blocks = (2, 4, 8, 8),

    layer_attns = (False, False, False, True),

    layer_cross_attns = (False, False, False, True)

)



# imagen, which contains the unets above (base unet and super resoluting ones)



imagen = Imagen(

    unets = (unet1, unet2),

    image_sizes = (64, 256),

    timesteps = 1000,

    cond_drop_prob = 0.1

).cuda()



# mock images (get a lot of this) and text encodings from large T5



text_embeds = torch.randn(4, 256, 768).cuda()

images = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256).cuda()



# feed images into imagen, training each unet in the cascade



for i in (1, 2):

    loss = imagen(images, text_embeds = text_embeds, unet_number = i)

    loss.backward()



# do the above for many many many many steps

# now you can sample an image based on the text embeddings from the cascading ddpm



images = imagen.sample(texts = [

    'a whale breaching from afar',

    'young girl blowing out candles on her birthday cake',

    'fireworks with blue and green sparkles'

], cond_scale = 3.)



images.shape # (3, 3, 256, 256)

```



For simpler training, you can directly supply text strings instead of precomputing text encodings. (Although for scaling purposes, you will definitely want to precompute the textual embeddings + mask)



The number of textual captions must match the batch size of the images if you go this route.



```python

# mock images and text (get a lot of this)



texts = [

    'a child screaming at finding a worm within a half-eaten apple',

    'lizard running across the desert on two feet',

    'waking up to a psychedelic landscape',

    'seashells sparkling in the shallow waters'

]



images = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256).cuda()



# feed images into imagen, training each unet in the cascade



for i in (1, 2):

    loss = imagen(images, texts = texts, unet_number = i)

    loss.backward()

```



With the `ImagenTrainer` wrapper class, the exponential moving averages for all of the U-nets in the cascading DDPM will be automatically taken care of when calling `update`



```python

import torch

from imagen_pytorch import Unet, Imagen, ImagenTrainer



# unet for imagen



unet1 = Unet(

    dim = 32,

    cond_dim = 512,

    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8),

    num_resnet_blocks = 3,

    layer_attns = (False, True, True, True),

)



unet2 = Unet(

    dim = 32,

    cond_dim = 512,

    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8),

    num_resnet_blocks = (2, 4, 8, 8),

    layer_attns = (False, False, False, True),

    layer_cross_attns = (False, False, False, True)

)



# imagen, which contains the unets above (base unet and super resoluting ones)



imagen = Imagen(

    unets = (unet1, unet2),

    text_encoder_name = 't5-large',

    image_sizes = (64, 256),

    timesteps = 1000,

    cond_drop_prob = 0.1

).cuda()



# wrap imagen with the trainer class



trainer = ImagenTrainer(imagen)



# mock images (get a lot of this) and text encodings from large T5



text_embeds = torch.randn(64, 256, 1024).cuda()

images = torch.randn(64, 3, 256, 256).cuda()



# feed images into imagen, training each unet in the cascade



loss = trainer(

    images,

    text_embeds = text_embeds,

    unet_number = 1,            # training on unet number 1 in this example, but you will have to also save checkpoints and then reload and continue training on unet number 2

    max_batch_size = 4          # auto divide the batch of 64 up into batch size of 4 and accumulate gradients, so it all fits in memory

)



trainer.update(unet_number = 1)



# do the above for many many many many steps

# now you can sample an image based on the text embeddings from the cascading ddpm



images = trainer.sample(texts = [

    'a puppy looking anxiously at a giant donut on the table',

    'the milky way galaxy in the style of monet'

], cond_scale = 3.)



images.shape # (2, 3, 256, 256)

```



You can also train Imagen without text (unconditional image generation) as follows



```python

import torch

from imagen_pytorch import Unet, Imagen, SRUnet256, ImagenTrainer



# unets for unconditional imagen



unet1 = Unet(

    dim = 32,

    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4),

    num_resnet_blocks = 3,

    layer_attns = (False, True, True),

    layer_cross_attns = False,

    use_linear_attn = True

)



unet2 = SRUnet256(

    dim = 32,

    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4),

    num_resnet_blocks = (2, 4, 8),

    layer_attns = (False, False, True),

    layer_cross_attns = False

)



# imagen, which contains the unets above (base unet and super resoluting ones)



imagen = Imagen(

    condition_on_text = False,   # this must be set to False for unconditional Imagen

    unets = (unet1, unet2),

    image_sizes = (64, 128),

    timesteps = 1000

)



trainer = ImagenTrainer(imagen).cuda()



# now get a ton of images and feed it through the Imagen trainer



training_images = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256).cuda()



# train each unet separately

# in this example, only training on unet number 1



loss = trainer(training_images, unet_number = 1)

trainer.update(unet_number = 1)



# do the above for many many many many steps

# now you can sample images unconditionally from the cascading unet(s)



images = trainer.sample(batch_size = 16) # (16, 3, 128, 128)

```



Or train only super-resoluting unets



```python

import torch

from imagen_pytorch import Unet, NullUnet, Imagen



# unet for imagen



unet1 = NullUnet()  # add a placeholder "null" unet for the base unet



unet2 = Unet(

    dim = 32,

    cond_dim = 512,

    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8),

    num_resnet_blocks = (2, 4, 8, 8),

    layer_attns = (False, False, False, True),

    layer_cross_attns = (False, False, False, True)

)



# imagen, which contains the unets above (base unet and super resoluting ones)



imagen = Imagen(

    unets = (unet1, unet2),

    image_sizes = (64, 256),

    timesteps = 250,

    cond_drop_prob = 0.1

).cuda()



# mock images (get a lot of this) and text encodings from large T5



text_embeds = torch.randn(4, 256, 768).cuda()

images = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256).cuda()



# feed images into imagen, training each unet in the cascade



loss = imagen(images, text_embeds = text_embeds, unet_number = 2)

loss.backward()



# do the above for many many many many steps

# now you can sample an image based on the text embeddings as well as low resolution images



lowres_images = torch.randn(3, 3, 64, 64).cuda()  # starting un-resoluted images



images = imagen.sample(

    texts = [

        'a whale breaching from afar',

        'young girl blowing out candles on her birthday cake',

        'fireworks with blue and green sparkles'

    ],

    start_at_unet_number = 2,              # start at unet number 2

    start_image_or_video = lowres_images,  # pass in low resolution images to be resoluted

    cond_scale = 3.)



images.shape # (3, 3, 256, 256)

```



At any time you can save and load the trainer and all associated states with the `save` and `load` methods. It is recommended you use these methods instead of manually saving with a `state_dict` call, as there are some device memory management being done underneath the hood within the trainer.



ex.



```python

trainer.save('./path/to/checkpoint.pt')



trainer.load('./path/to/checkpoint.pt')



trainer.steps # (2,) step number for each of the unets, in this case 2

```



## Dataloader



You can also rely on the `ImagenTrainer` to automatically train off `DataLoader` instances. You simply have to craft your `DataLoader` to return either `images` (for unconditional case), or of `('images', 'text_embeds')` for text-guided generation.



ex. unconditional training



```python

from imagen_pytorch import Unet, Imagen, ImagenTrainer

from imagen_pytorch.data import Dataset



# unets for unconditional imagen



unet = Unet(

    dim = 32,

    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8),

    num_resnet_blocks = 1,

    layer_attns = (False, False, False, True),

    layer_cross_attns = False

)



# imagen, which contains the unet above



imagen = Imagen(

    condition_on_text = False,  # this must be set to False for unconditional Imagen

    unets = unet,

    image_sizes = 128,

    timesteps = 1000

)



trainer = ImagenTrainer(

    imagen = imagen,

    split_valid_from_train = True # whether to split the validation dataset from the training

).cuda()



# instantiate your dataloader, which returns the necessary inputs to the DDPM as tuple in the order of images, text embeddings, then text masks. in this case, only images is returned as it is unconditional training



dataset = Dataset('/path/to/training/images', image_size = 128)



trainer.add_train_dataset(dataset, batch_size = 16)



# working training loop



for i in range(200000):

    loss = trainer.train_step(unet_number = 1, max_batch_size = 4)

    print(f'loss: {loss}')



    if not (i % 50):

        valid_loss = trainer.valid_step(unet_number = 1, max_batch_size = 4)

        print(f'valid loss: {valid_loss}')



    if not (i % 100) and trainer.is_main: # is_main makes sure this can run in distributed

        images = trainer.sample(batch_size = 1, return_pil_images = True) # returns List[Image]

        images[0].save(f'./sample-{i // 100}.png')



```



## Multi GPU



Thanks to 🤗 Accelerate, you can do multi GPU training easily with two steps.



First you need to invoke `accelerate config` in the same directory as your training script (say it is named `train.py`)



```bash

$ accelerate config

```



Next, instead of calling `python train.py` as you would for single GPU, you would use the accelerate CLI as so



```bash

$ accelerate launch train.py

```



That's it!



## Command-line



Imagen can also be used via CLI directly.



### Configuration



ex.



```bash

$ imagen config

```

or

```bash

$ imagen config --path ./configs/config.json

```



In the config you are able to change settings for the trainer, dataset and the imagen config.



The Imagen config parameters can be found here



The Elucidated Imagen config parameters can be found here



The Imagen Trainer config parameters can be found here



For the dataset parameters all dataloader parameters can be used.



### Training



This command allows you to train or resume training your model



ex.

```bash

$ imagen train

```

or

```bash

$ imagen train --unet 2 --epoches 10

```



You can pass following arguments to the training command.



- `--config` specify the config file to use for training [default: ./imagen_config.json]

- `--unet` the index of the unet to train [default: 1]

- `--epoches` how many epoches to train for [default: 50]



### Sampling



Be aware when sampling your checkpoint should have trained all unets to get a usable result.



ex.



```bash

$ imagen sample --model ./path/to/model/checkpoint.pt "a squirrel raiding the birdfeeder"

# image is saved to ./a_squirrel_raiding_the_birdfeeder.png

```



You can pass following arguments to the sample command.



- `--model` specify the model file to use for sampling

- `--cond_scale` conditioning scale (classifier free guidance) in decoder

- `--load_ema` load EMA version of unets if available



In order to use a saved checkpoint with this feature, you either must instantiate your Imagen instance using the config classes, `ImagenConfig` and `ElucidatedImagenConfig` or create a checkpoint via the CLI directly



For proper training, you'll likely want to setup config-driven training anyways.



ex.



```python

import torch

from imagen_pytorch import ImagenConfig, ElucidatedImagenConfig, ImagenTrainer



# in this example, using elucidated imagen



imagen = ElucidatedImagenConfig(

    unets = [

        dict(dim = 32, dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8)),

        dict(dim = 32, dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8))

    ],

    image_sizes = (64, 128),

    cond_drop_prob = 0.5,

    num_sample_steps = 32

).create()



trainer = ImagenTrainer(imagen)



# do your training ...



# then save it



trainer.save('./checkpoint.pt')



# you should see a message informing you that ./checkpoint.pt is commandable from the terminal

```



It really should be as simple as that



You can also pass this checkpoint file around, and anyone can continue finetune on their own data



```python

from imagen_pytorch import load_imagen_from_checkpoint, ImagenTrainer



imagen = load_imagen_from_checkpoint('./checkpoint.pt')



trainer = ImagenTrainer(imagen)



# continue training / fine-tuning

```



## Inpainting



Inpainting follows the formulation laid out by the recent Repaint paper. Simply pass in `inpaint_images` and `inpaint_masks` to the `sample` function on either `Imagen` or `ElucidatedImagen`



```python



inpaint_images = torch.randn(4, 3, 512, 512).cuda()      # (batch, channels, height, width)

inpaint_masks = torch.ones((4, 512, 512)).bool().cuda()  # (batch, height, width)



inpainted_images = trainer.sample(texts = [

    'a whale breaching from afar',

    'young girl blowing out candles on her birthday cake',

    'fireworks with blue and green sparkles',

    'dust motes swirling in the morning sunshine on the windowsill'

], inpaint_images = inpaint_images, inpaint_masks = inpaint_masks, cond_scale = 5.)



inpainted_images # (4, 3, 512, 512)

```



For video, similarly pass in your videos to `inpaint_videos` keyword on `.sample`. Inpainting mask can either be the same across all frames `(batch, height, width)` or different `(batch, frames, height, width)`



```python



inpaint_videos = torch.randn(4, 3, 8, 512, 512).cuda()   # (batch, channels, frames, height, width)

inpaint_masks = torch.ones((4, 8, 512, 512)).bool().cuda()  # (batch, frames, height, width)



inpainted_videos = trainer.sample(texts = [

    'a whale breaching from afar',

    'young girl blowing out candles on her birthday cake',

    'fireworks with blue and green sparkles',

    'dust motes swirling in the morning sunshine on the windowsill'

], inpaint_videos = inpaint_videos, inpaint_masks = inpaint_masks, cond_scale = 5.)



inpainted_videos # (4, 3, 8, 512, 512)

```



## Experimental



Tero Karras of StyleGAN fame has written a new paper with results that have been corroborated by a number of independent researchers as well as on my own machine. I have decided to create a version of `Imagen`, the `ElucidatedImagen`, so that one can use the new elucidated DDPM for text-guided cascading generation.



Simply import `ElucidatedImagen`, and then instantiate the instance as you did before. The hyperparameters are different than the usual ones for discrete and continuous time gaussian diffusion, and can be individualized for each unet in the cascade.



Ex.



```python

from imagen_pytorch import ElucidatedImagen



# instantiate your unets ...



imagen = ElucidatedImagen(

    unets = (unet1, unet2),

    image_sizes = (64, 128),

    cond_drop_prob = 0.1,

    num_sample_steps = (64, 32), # number of sample steps - 64 for base unet, 32 for upsampler (just an example, have no clue what the optimal values are)

    sigma_min = 0.002,           # min noise level

    sigma_max = (80, 160),       # max noise level, @crowsonkb recommends double the max noise level for upsampler

    sigma_data = 0.5,            # standard deviation of data distribution

    rho = 7,                     # controls the sampling schedule

    P_mean = -1.2,               # mean of log-normal distribution from which noise is drawn for training

    P_std = 1.2,                 # standard deviation of log-normal distribution from which noise is drawn for training

    S_churn = 80,                # parameters for stochastic sampling - depends on dataset, Table 5 in apper

    S_tmin = 0.05,

    S_tmax = 50,

    S_noise = 1.003,

).cuda()



# rest is the same as above



```



## Text to Video



This repository will also start accumulating new research around text guided video synthesis. For starters it will adopt the 3d unet architecture described by Jonathan Ho in Video Diffusion Models



Update: verified working by Hadrien Reynaud!



Ex.



```python

import torch

from imagen_pytorch import Unet3D, ElucidatedImagen, ImagenTrainer



unet1 = Unet3D(dim = 64, dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8)).cuda()



unet2 = Unet3D(dim = 64, dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8)).cuda()



# elucidated imagen, which contains the unets above (base unet and super resoluting ones)



imagen = ElucidatedImagen(

    unets = (unet1, unet2),

    image_sizes = (16, 32),

    random_crop_sizes = (None, 16),

    temporal_downsample_factor = (2, 1),        # in this example, the first unet would receive the video temporally downsampled by 2x

    num_sample_steps = 10,

    cond_drop_prob = 0.1,

    sigma_min = 0.002,                          # min noise level

    sigma_max = (80, 160),                      # max noise level, double the max noise level for upsampler

    sigma_data = 0.5,                           # standard deviation of data distribution

    rho = 7,                                    # controls the sampling schedule

    P_mean = -1.2,                              # mean of log-normal distribution from which noise is drawn for training

    P_std = 1.2,                                # standard deviation of log-normal distribution from which noise is drawn for training

    S_churn = 80,                               # parameters for stochastic sampling - depends on dataset, Table 5 in apper

    S_tmin = 0.05,

    S_tmax = 50,

    S_noise = 1.003,

).cuda()



# mock videos (get a lot of this) and text encodings from large T5



texts = [

    'a whale breaching from afar',

    'young girl blowing out candles on her birthday cake',

    'fireworks with blue and green sparkles',

    'dust motes swirling in the morning sunshine on the windowsill'

]



videos = torch.randn(4, 3, 10, 32, 32).cuda() # (batch, channels, time / video frames, height, width)



# feed images into imagen, training each unet in the cascade

# for this example, only training unet 1



trainer = ImagenTrainer(imagen)



# you can also ignore time when training on video initially, shown to improve results in video-ddpm paper. eventually will make the 3d unet trainable with either images or video. research shows it is essential (with current data regimes) to train first on text-to-image. probably won't be true in another decade. all big data becomes small data



trainer(videos, texts = texts, unet_number = 1, ignore_time = False)

trainer.update(unet_number = 1)



videos = trainer.sample(texts = texts, video_frames = 20) # extrapolating to 20 frames from training on 10 frames



videos.shape # (4, 3, 20, 32, 32)



```



You can also train on text - image pairs first. The `Unet3D` will automatically convert it to single framed videos and learn without the temporal components (by automatically setting `ignore_time = True`), whether it be 1d convolutions or causal attention across time.



This is the current approach taken by all the big artificial intelligence labs (Brain, MetaAI, Bytedance)



## FAQ



- Why are my generated images not aligning well with the text?



Imagen uses an algorithm called Classifier Free Guidance. When sampling, you apply a scale to the conditioning (text in this case) of greater than `1.0`.



Researcher Netruk44 have reported `5-10` to be optimal, but anything greater than `10` to break.



```python

trainer.sample(texts = [

    'a cloud in the shape of a roman gladiator'

], cond_scale = 5.) # <-- cond_scale is the conditioning scale, needs to be greater than 1.0 to be better than average

```



- Are there any pretrained models yet?



Not at the moment but one will likely be trained and open sourced within the year, if not sooner. If you would like to participate, you can join the community of artificial neural network trainers at Laion (discord link is in the Readme above) and start collaborating.



- Will this technology take my job?



More the reason why you should start training your own model, starting today! The last thing we need is this technology being in the hands of an elite few. Hopefully this repository reduces the work to just finding the necessary compute, and augmenting with your own curated dataset.



- What am I allowed to do with this repository?



Anything! It is MIT licensed. In other words, you can freely copy / paste for your own research, remixed for whatever modality you can think of. Go train amazing models for profit, for science, or simply to satiate your own personal pleasure at witnessing something divine unravel in front of you.

- [x] add dynamic thresholding DALLE2 and video-diffusion repository as well

- [x] allow for one to set T5-large (and perhaps small factory method to take in any huggingface transformer)

- [x] add the lowres noise level with the pseudocode in appendix, and figure out what is this sweep they do at inference time

- [x] port over some training code from DALLE2

- [x] need to be able to use a different noise schedule per unet (cosine was used for base, but linear for SR)

- [x] just make one master-configurable unet

- [x] complete resnet block (biggan inspired? but with groupnorm) - complete self attention

- [x] complete conditioning embedding block (and make it completely configurable, whether it be attention, film etc)

- [x] add attention pooling option, in addition to cross attention and film

- [x] add optional cosine decay schedule with warmup, for each unet, to trainer

- [x] switch to continuous timesteps instead of discretized, as it seems that is what they used for all stages - first figure out the linear noise schedule case from the variational ddpm paper https://openreview.net/forum?id=2LdBqxc1Yv

- [x] figure out log(snr) for alpha cosine noise schedule.

- [x] suppress the transformers warning because only T5encoder is used

- [x] allow setting for using linear attention on layers where full attention cannot be used

- [x] force unets in continuous time case to use non-fouriered conditions (just pass the log(snr) through an MLP with optional layernorms), as that is what i have working locally

- [x] removed learned variance

- [x] add p2 loss weighting for continuous time

- [x] make sure cascading ddpm can be trained without text condition, and make sure both continuous and discrete time gaussian diffusion works

- [x] build a simple checkpointing system, backed by a folder

- [x] add skip connection from outputs of all upsample blocks, used in unet squared paper and some previous unet works

- [x] add fsspec, recommended by Romain @rom1504, for cloud / local file system agnostic persistence of checkpoints

- [x] test out persistence in gcs with https://github.com/fsspec/gcsfs

- [x] extend to video generation, using axial time attention as in Ho's video ddpm paper

- [x] allow elucidated imagen to generalize to any shape

- [x] allow for imagen to generalize to any shape

- [x] add dynamic positional bias for the best type of length extrapolation across video time

- [x] move video frames to sample function, as we will be attempting time extrapolation

- [x] attention bias to null key / values should be a learned scalar of head dimension

- [x] add self-conditioning from bit diffusion paper, already coded up at ddpm-pytorch

- [x] add v-parameterization (https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.00512) from imagen video paper, the only thing new

- [x] incorporate all learnings from make-a-video (https://makeavideo.studio/)

- [x] build out CLI tool for training, resuming training off config file

- [x] allow for temporal interpolation at specific stages

- [x] make sure temporal interpolation works with inpainting

- [x] make sure one can customize all interpolation modes (some researchers are finding better results with trilinear)

- [x] imagen-video : allow for conditioning on preceding (and possibly future) frames of videos. ignore time should not be allowed in that scenario

- [x] make sure to automatically take care of temporal down/upsampling for conditioning video frames, but allow for an option to turn it off

- [x] make sure inpainting works with video

- [x] make sure inpainting mask for video can accept be customized per frame
