    Stable diffusion doesn't actually actually apply noise to images, it uses a compressed low dimensional latent representation of the image and applies noise to that. The model is running in this abstract latent space, and then the autoencoder recreates the image afterwards.

      I'm a little unclear on that myself, but the best understanding I can manage is that the CLIP (language model) embeddings must be included in the diffusion network's training. So while it's learning how to predict the noise on a picture of, say, a bunny, it's also given the text description of the bunny, which means it's learning how the descriptions affect the noise at the same time as it's learning how the underlying picture does.
      I think. As I said, not 100% clear on that, so don't take my word for it 😅

      They asked humans, "Is this a frog? Yes or no."
      They took that data to develop an AI that could be asked, "Is this a frog? Yes or no."
      They did the same with "stilts".
      They did the same with "on". The difference being that they used a variety of known "objects" to determine whether they were "on" something or not.
      They also probably classified "on" as a verb, rather than a noun. This makes it a union of two objects. A union associated with "proximity" or something like that.
      Like he said at the end, they need an intact frog and intact stilts as a requirement in the "frog on stlits" image. So they look like "frog feet with proximity to stilt objects" etc.
      I would assume human objects on stilts strongly guided their classification of frog objects on stilts.

      The idea of adding something, do a transformation and substract to get only the transformation of the data or the something is actually quite common in math and control theory.
      Real hit from AI was to get "the" transformation from data, something and output into an algorithm. This general function of transformation is what allows the image generation. We give it data or something that is slightly off, and amplify the error by the transformation.

So while the training set for stable diffusion might not have any examples of a frog-bunny fusion, CLIP is able to take the phrase "frog-bunny fusion" and transform it into a vector that encodes something about the meaning of the phrase. Stable diffusion was trained conditioned on this embedding, so it generally has learned to take concepts from this embedding and include them in the image. The hope is that stable diffusion is able to generalize across all concepts that can be represented by the embedding, so that even if it hasn't seen this specific thing before, it has seen similar stuff and is able to still produce a reasonable image that matches the concepts in the embedding.

    Stable Diffusion is actually runable (in inference mode, i.e. for generation - this is different from training) on a regularish computer. The main factor is time but if you have a reasonably modern graphics card, you probably can run stable diffusion in principle.
    It just might take minutes rather than seconds for a single image.
    Somebody ran a variant of it on a not even that new iphone. It did take like half an hour iirc so it's not a thing most people would *want* to do, but one of the big selling poitns of stable diffusion is, that it's never the less *possible.*
    Stuff like Dall-E 2 or Imagen actually really does need a beefy computer with lots of specialized hardware (in particular, above-consumer-hardware VRAM) to get things done.
    Some of the oldest methods, though, can also work on a regular computer. I'm directly optimizing a version of CLIP towards some image for instance. It's not nearly as good as stable diffusion, but it's basically how all this madness of arbitrary images from text began

It was from a DVD rip (I think). And it had therefore, by the time it got from the film to my computer screen on youtube, gone through numerous re-encodings. Encodings that expect visual interests and details to compress.. but those had none. So I noticed that the artifacting was picked up as not-noise. And it tried to encode it as if it was normal video. And through the generations of transfers, the blue blank screen was now... Filled with random shapes of blue tones that had gotten enhanced over time.
    I joked then that we were basically seeing the encoders hallucinations. Little did I know, that a few years later, seceral image processors would spring up that essentially used that method, but guided. And they would be able to hallucinate pretty high resolution images... From noise ..

    • @IceMetalPunk

      Basically all neural network training relies on lots of linear algebra (mostly matrix multiplication), and from what I've read in a *very* brief lookup just now, the HHL quantum algorithm is known to perform linear algebra much faster than classical computers. And we've got a working demo of it already as of 2018 (though for the small number of qubits that our current quantum computers are limited to). So in theory, yeah, once we have scalable enough quantum computers with enough qubits, most modern AI could be made far faster with HHL.

    • @IceMetalPunk
      @IceMetalPunk Před rokem +2

      Try turning up the CFG scale. In general, higher values for that make the result match your prompt more closely, though it also reduces variation. If you're using the WebUI version, it also supports term emphasis, so you can try putting the word "stilts" in ((double parentheses)) to indicate that they should have higher weight in the result.

    15:15 Why would we amplify the difference and not the parts that stay the same?

Why then use the difference

    How do I know what noise was added at which step, if both noises have the same frequency? If I start from the back with totally random noise and then subtract random noise, how can the result have less noise? If the noise is really random, it is no difference if you add or subtract it, because random noise is not any more or less random than its negative.

    I feel the GPT embedding is skipped over quite easily. With my limited knowledge on how these text Transformers work there is a vector representation of the description that in stead of representing the words represent the 'meaning' of the text. However how does this transform to an image that does exactly that? You would still need a lot of training data that confirms whether an image matches a description, right? Did they use alt descriptions or something similar for this, eg (publicly) available image descriptions? I guess my point is that i do not see how this 'knowledge' of what's in the text is transferred to the 'knowledge' of what's in the image, apart from there being a mechanism of steering it towards the 'knowledge' but where does this knowledge come from?

    • @gooblepls3985
      @gooblepls3985 Před rokem +7

      The network is basically implicitly imbued with this understanding through the training process:
      For the training process of these conditional models, you take a labeled dataset {(image, label)}, and the label is a natural-language description text *describing that image* . For a particular data sample, the network will then see a noisy version of this image, along with the embedding of the description of the original clean image. The training loss then rewards the network for reproducing this image given these two bits of information, and punishes it for reproducing *any* other image. I hope it's clear that the training will therefore steer the network into a direction of 'understanding' these descriptions in some abstract way.
      That this understanding of the input text is *abstract* is actually what you hope allows the model to extrapolate, so it can generate new images conditioned on new texts not seen during training. That this extrapolation works ridiculously well is one of the amazing things about these models.

    Nice! Didn't find it, but is there a video how he mentioned at 13:09 how to embedd "GPT style" a text to an image? Like I don't see how you can mix text and images, and maybe similarly also sound. For a picture it's quite understandable, X pixels width and Y pixels height. But for text in an image it could be an entire book or just one word.

    so it's predicting the noise, and the randomness of the image comes from the random noise that the model gets? so if the model by chance got the same noise it would produce the same image? or something very close? or does each step also introduce randomness?

    Very insightful, although the one thing he didn't do a great job explaining is why it's better to ask it to go from T to T0 and then add back noise equal to some lower T instead of just going from T to T-1 to T-2 and so on. He sort of touched on it vaguely but didn't really explain why it's actually better

    • @SnoopyDoofie
      @SnoopyDoofie Před 11 měsíci

      It depends. If you provide the same prompt text and the same seed value, you'll always get the same image. If you change the seed value, you'll always get a different image. The seed has to do with how the initial image is initialized with random noise. The seed will set the pattern of the noise. In the video, he didn't mention anything about the initial image used when creating a new image. He mostly talked about the training process.

    Been looking forward to this! I've been playing with Stable Diffusion awhile now, and only recently realized my GPU could handle a local install instead of relying on Colab. The local WebUI is so nice!
    I do have a question though: is the diffusion model trained with CLIP embeddings as well, or are those only passed into the diffuser during inference? I'd assume it must be trained with them, but I don't like assuming 🙂
    It'd be nice for follow-up videos to talk about things like Textual Inversion and Dreambooth, and the new AIs being built on top of these CLIP-diffusion models such as Meta's new "Make-A-Video".

    • @michaelpound9891
      @michaelpound9891 Před rokem +10

      I skipped CLIP simply because this video was getting a bit long! But I do think given the questions in the comments, that a CLIP video could be cool. As far as I know clip is used during training as well. The CLIP model is frozen though, so is no longer trained during this process. Dall e and SD use clip slightly differently. Dall e uses another diffusion process to go from text to image embeddings. Stable diffusion uses the text embeddings in the attention bits added to the unet noise predictor, but they also add it in the front. Personally I think there's more cool research to come on this, at the moment the text embeddings seem somewhat of a "throw it in and cross fingers" approach!

I have been working in 3D generated art for many many years and random noise is so powerful in creating imagery and textures in 3D. Such a fascinating, enigmatic concept - noise is nothing but at the same time everything. Even further fascinating to ponder that we can introduce chemicals into the human brain to create random noise, resulting in random infinite hallucinations which likewise have been used for millennia to generate art as well.
