DALL-E 2 - Pytorch

Implementation of DALL-E 2, OpenAI's updated text-to-image synthesis neural network, in Pytorch.

Yannic Kilcher summary | AssemblyAI explainer

The main novelty seems to be an extra layer of indirection with the prior network (whether it is an autoregressive transformer or a diffusion network), which predicts an image embedding based on the text embedding from CLIP. Specifically, this repository will only build out the diffusion prior network, as it is the best performing variant (but which incidentally involves a causal transformer as the denoising network 😂)

This model is SOTA for text-to-image for now.

Please join if you are interested in helping out with the replication with the LAION community | Yannic Interview

As of 5/23/22, it is no longer SOTA. SOTA will be here. Jax versions as well as text-to-video project will be shifted towards the Imagen architecture, as it is way simpler.

Status

A research group has used the code in this repository to train a functional diffusion prior for their CLIP generations. Will share their work once they release their preprint. This, and Katherine's own experiments, validate OpenAI's finding that the extra prior increases variety of generations.
Decoder is now verified working for unconditional generation on my experimental setup for Oxford flowers. 2 researchers have also confirmed Decoder is working for them.

ongoing at 21k steps

Justin Pinkney successfully trained the diffusion prior in the repository for his CLIP to Stylegan2 text-to-image application
Romain has scaled up training to 800 GPUs with the available scripts without any issues

$ pip install dalle2-pytorch

Usage

To train DALLE-2 is a 3 step process, with the training of CLIP being the most important

To train CLIP, you can either use x-clip package, or join the LAION discord, where a lot of replication efforts are already underway.

This repository will demonstrate integration with x-clip for starters

import torch
from dalle2_pytorch import CLIP

clip = CLIP(
    dim_text = 512,
    dim_image = 512,
    dim_latent = 512,
    num_text_tokens = 49408,
    text_enc_depth = 1,
    text_seq_len = 256,
    text_heads = 8,
    visual_enc_depth = 1,
    visual_image_size = 256,
    visual_patch_size = 32,
    visual_heads = 8,
    use_all_token_embeds = True,            # whether to use fine-grained contrastive learning (FILIP)
    decoupled_contrastive_learning = True,  # use decoupled contrastive learning (DCL) objective function, removing positive pairs from the denominator of the InfoNCE loss (CLOOB + DCL)
    extra_latent_projection = True,         # whether to use separate projections for text-to-image vs image-to-text comparisons (CLOOB)
    use_visual_ssl = True,                  # whether to do self supervised learning on images
    visual_ssl_type = 'simclr',             # can be either 'simclr' or 'simsiam', depending on using DeCLIP or SLIP
    use_mlm = False,                        # use masked language learning (MLM) on text (DeCLIP)
    text_ssl_loss_weight = 0.05,            # weight for text MLM loss
    image_ssl_loss_weight = 0.05            # weight for image self-supervised learning loss
).cuda()

# mock data

text = torch.randint(0, 49408, (4, 256)).cuda()
images = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256).cuda()

# train

loss = clip(
    text,
    images,
    return_loss = True              # needs to be set to True to return contrastive loss
)

loss.backward()

# do the above with as many texts and images as possible in a loop

Then, you will need to train the decoder, which learns to generate images based on the image embedding coming from the trained CLIP above

import torch
from dalle2_pytorch import Unet, Decoder, CLIP

# trained clip from step 1

clip = CLIP(
    dim_text = 512,
    dim_image = 512,
    dim_latent = 512,
    num_text_tokens = 49408,
    text_enc_depth = 1,
    text_seq_len = 256,
    text_heads = 8,
    visual_enc_depth = 1,
    visual_image_size = 256,
    visual_patch_size = 32,
    visual_heads = 8
).cuda()

# unet for the decoder

unet = Unet(
    dim = 128,
    image_embed_dim = 512,
    cond_dim = 128,
    channels = 3,
    dim_mults=(1, 2, 4, 8)
).cuda()

# decoder, which contains the unet and clip

decoder = Decoder(
    unet = unet,
    clip = clip,
    timesteps = 100,
    image_cond_drop_prob = 0.1,
    text_cond_drop_prob = 0.5
).cuda()

# mock images (get a lot of this)

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

# feed images into decoder

loss = decoder(images)
loss.backward()

# do the above for many many many many steps
# then it will learn to generate images based on the CLIP image embeddings

Finally, the main contribution of the paper. The repository offers the diffusion prior network. It takes the CLIP text embeddings and tries to generate the CLIP image embeddings. Again, you will need the trained CLIP from the first step

import torch
from dalle2_pytorch import DiffusionPriorNetwork, DiffusionPrior, CLIP

# get trained CLIP from step one

clip = CLIP(
    dim_text = 512,
    dim_image = 512,
    dim_latent = 512,
    num_text_tokens = 49408,
    text_enc_depth = 6,
    text_seq_len = 256,
    text_heads = 8,
    visual_enc_depth = 6,
    visual_image_size = 256,
    visual_patch_size = 32,
    visual_heads = 8,
).cuda()

# setup prior network, which contains an autoregressive transformer

prior_network = DiffusionPriorNetwork(
    dim = 512,
    depth = 6,
    dim_head = 64,
    heads = 8
).cuda()

# diffusion prior network, which contains the CLIP and network (with transformer) above

diffusion_prior = DiffusionPrior(
    net = prior_network,
    clip = clip,
    timesteps = 100,
    cond_drop_prob = 0.2
).cuda()

# mock data

text = torch.randint(0, 49408, (4, 256)).cuda()
images = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256).cuda()

# feed text and images into diffusion prior network

loss = diffusion_prior(text, images)
loss.backward()

# do the above for many many many steps
# now the diffusion prior can generate image embeddings from the text embeddings

In the paper, they actually used a recently discovered technique, from Jonathan Ho himself (original author of DDPMs, the core technique used in DALL-E v2) for high resolution image synthesis.

This can easily be used within this framework as so

import torch
from dalle2_pytorch import Unet, Decoder, CLIP

# trained clip from step 1

clip = CLIP(
    dim_text = 512,
    dim_image = 512,
    dim_latent = 512,
    num_text_tokens = 49408,
    text_enc_depth = 6,
    text_seq_len = 256,
    text_heads = 8,
    visual_enc_depth = 6,
    visual_image_size = 256,
    visual_patch_size = 32,
    visual_heads = 8
).cuda()

# 2 unets for the decoder (a la cascading DDPM)

unet1 = Unet(
    dim = 32,
    image_embed_dim = 512,
    cond_dim = 128,
    channels = 3,
    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8)
).cuda()

unet2 = Unet(
    dim = 32,
    image_embed_dim = 512,
    cond_dim = 128,
    channels = 3,
    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8, 16)
).cuda()

# decoder, which contains the unet(s) and clip

decoder = Decoder(
    clip = clip,
    unet = (unet1, unet2),            # insert both unets in order of low resolution to highest resolution (you can have as many stages as you want here)
    image_sizes = (256, 512),         # resolutions, 256 for first unet, 512 for second. these must be unique and in ascending order (matches with the unets passed in)
    timesteps = 1000,
    image_cond_drop_prob = 0.1,
    text_cond_drop_prob = 0.5
).cuda()

# mock images (get a lot of this)

images = torch.randn(4, 3, 512, 512).cuda()

# feed images into decoder, specifying which unet you want to train
# each unet can be trained separately, which is one of the benefits of the cascading DDPM scheme

loss = decoder(images, unet_number = 1)
loss.backward()

loss = decoder(images, unet_number = 2)
loss.backward()

# do the above for many steps for both unets

Finally, to generate the DALL-E2 images from text. Insert the trained DiffusionPrior as well as the Decoder (which wraps CLIP, the causal transformer, and unet(s))

from dalle2_pytorch import DALLE2

dalle2 = DALLE2(
    prior = diffusion_prior,
    decoder = decoder
)

# send the text as a string if you want to use the simple tokenizer from DALLE v1
# or you can do it as token ids, if you have your own tokenizer

texts = ['glistening morning dew on a flower petal']
images = dalle2(texts) # (1, 3, 256, 256)

That's it!

Let's see the whole script below

import torch
from dalle2_pytorch import DALLE2, DiffusionPriorNetwork, DiffusionPrior, Unet, Decoder, CLIP

clip = CLIP(
    dim_text = 512,
    dim_image = 512,
    dim_latent = 512,
    num_text_tokens = 49408,
    text_enc_depth = 6,
    text_seq_len = 256,
    text_heads = 8,
    visual_enc_depth = 6,
    visual_image_size = 256,
    visual_patch_size = 32,
    visual_heads = 8
).cuda()

# mock data

text = torch.randint(0, 49408, (4, 256)).cuda()
images = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256).cuda()

# train

loss = clip(
    text,
    images,
    return_loss = True
)

loss.backward()

# do above for many steps ...

# prior networks (with transformer)

prior_network = DiffusionPriorNetwork(
    dim = 512,
    depth = 6,
    dim_head = 64,
    heads = 8
).cuda()

diffusion_prior = DiffusionPrior(
    net = prior_network,
    clip = clip,
    timesteps = 1000,
    sample_timesteps = 64,
    cond_drop_prob = 0.2
).cuda()

loss = diffusion_prior(text, images)
loss.backward()

# do above for many steps ...

# decoder (with unet)

unet1 = Unet(
    dim = 128,
    image_embed_dim = 512,
    text_embed_dim = 512,
    cond_dim = 128,
    channels = 3,
    dim_mults=(1, 2, 4, 8),
    cond_on_text_encodings = True    # set to True for any unets that need to be conditioned on text encodings
).cuda()

unet2 = Unet(
    dim = 16,
    image_embed_dim = 512,
    cond_dim = 128,
    channels = 3,
    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8, 16)
).cuda()

decoder = Decoder(
    unet = (unet1, unet2),
    image_sizes = (128, 256),
    clip = clip,
    timesteps = 100,
    image_cond_drop_prob = 0.1,
    text_cond_drop_prob = 0.5
).cuda()

for unet_number in (1, 2):
    loss = decoder(images, text = text, unet_number = unet_number) # this can optionally be decoder(images, text) if you wish to condition on the text encodings as well, though it was hinted in the paper it didn't do much
    loss.backward()

# do above for many steps

dalle2 = DALLE2(
    prior = diffusion_prior,
    decoder = decoder
)

images = dalle2(
    ['cute puppy chasing after a squirrel'],
    cond_scale = 2. # classifier free guidance strength (> 1 would strengthen the condition)
)

# save your image (in this example, of size 256x256)

Everything in this readme should run without error

You can also train the decoder on images of greater than the size (say 512x512) at which CLIP was trained (256x256). The images will be resized to CLIP image resolution for the image embeddings

For the layperson, no worries, training will all be automated into a CLI tool, at least for small scale training.

Training on Preprocessed CLIP Embeddings

It is likely, when scaling up, that you would first preprocess your images and text into corresponding embeddings before training the prior network. You can do so easily by simply passing in image_embed, text_embed, and optionally text_encodings

Working example below

import torch
from dalle2_pytorch import DiffusionPriorNetwork, DiffusionPrior, CLIP

# get trained CLIP from step one

clip = CLIP(
    dim_text = 512,
    dim_image = 512,
    dim_latent = 512,
    num_text_tokens = 49408,
    text_enc_depth = 6,
    text_seq_len = 256,
    text_heads = 8,
    visual_enc_depth = 6,
    visual_image_size = 256,
    visual_patch_size = 32,
    visual_heads = 8,
).cuda()

# setup prior network, which contains an autoregressive transformer

prior_network = DiffusionPriorNetwork(
    dim = 512,
    depth = 6,
    dim_head = 64,
    heads = 8
).cuda()

# diffusion prior network, which contains the CLIP and network (with transformer) above

diffusion_prior = DiffusionPrior(
    net = prior_network,
    clip = clip,
    timesteps = 100,
    cond_drop_prob = 0.2,
    condition_on_text_encodings = False  # this probably should be true, but just to get Laion started
).cuda()

# mock data

text = torch.randint(0, 49408, (4, 256)).cuda()
images = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256).cuda()

# precompute the text and image embeddings
# here using the diffusion prior class, but could be done with CLIP alone

clip_image_embeds = diffusion_prior.clip.embed_image(images).image_embed
clip_text_embeds = diffusion_prior.clip.embed_text(text).text_embed

# feed text and images into diffusion prior network

loss = diffusion_prior(
    text_embed = clip_text_embeds,
    image_embed = clip_image_embeds
)

loss.backward()

# do the above for many many many steps
# now the diffusion prior can generate image embeddings from the text embeddings

You can also completely go CLIP-less, in which case you will need to pass in the image_embed_dim into the DiffusionPrior on initialization

import torch
from dalle2_pytorch import DiffusionPriorNetwork, DiffusionPrior

# setup prior network, which contains an autoregressive transformer

prior_network = DiffusionPriorNetwork(
    dim = 512,
    depth = 6,
    dim_head = 64,
    heads = 8
).cuda()

# diffusion prior network, which contains the CLIP and network (with transformer) above

diffusion_prior = DiffusionPrior(
    net = prior_network,
    image_embed_dim = 512,               # this needs to be set
    timesteps = 100,
    cond_drop_prob = 0.2,
    condition_on_text_encodings = False  # this probably should be true, but just to get Laion started
).cuda()

# mock data

text = torch.randint(0, 49408, (4, 256)).cuda()
images = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256).cuda()

# precompute the text and image embeddings
# here using the diffusion prior class, but could be done with CLIP alone

clip_image_embeds = torch.randn(4, 512).cuda()
clip_text_embeds = torch.randn(4, 512).cuda()

# feed text and images into diffusion prior network

loss = diffusion_prior(
    text_embed = clip_text_embeds,
    image_embed = clip_image_embeds
)

loss.backward()

# do the above for many many many steps
# now the diffusion prior can generate image embeddings from the text embeddings

OpenAI CLIP

Although there is the possibility they are using an unreleased, more powerful CLIP, you can use one of the released ones, if you do not wish to train your own CLIP from scratch. This will also allow the community to more quickly validate the conclusions of the paper.

To use a pretrained OpenAI CLIP, simply import OpenAIClipAdapter and pass it into the DiffusionPrior or Decoder like so

import torch
from dalle2_pytorch import DALLE2, DiffusionPriorNetwork, DiffusionPrior, Unet, Decoder, OpenAIClipAdapter

# openai pretrained clip - defaults to ViT-B/32

clip = OpenAIClipAdapter()

# mock data

text = torch.randint(0, 49408, (4, 256)).cuda()
images = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256).cuda()

# prior networks (with transformer)

prior_network = DiffusionPriorNetwork(
    dim = 512,
    depth = 6,
    dim_head = 64,
    heads = 8
).cuda()

diffusion_prior = DiffusionPrior(
    net = prior_network,
    clip = clip,
    timesteps = 100,
    cond_drop_prob = 0.2
).cuda()

loss = diffusion_prior(text, images)
loss.backward()

# do above for many steps ...

# decoder (with unet)

unet1 = Unet(
    dim = 128,
    image_embed_dim = 512,
    cond_dim = 128,
    channels = 3,
    dim_mults=(1, 2, 4, 8),
    text_embed_dim = 512,
    cond_on_text_encodings = True  # set to True for any unets that need to be conditioned on text encodings (ex. first unet in cascade)
).cuda()

unet2 = Unet(
    dim = 16,
    image_embed_dim = 512,
    cond_dim = 128,
    channels = 3,
    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8, 16)
).cuda()

decoder = Decoder(
    unet = (unet1, unet2),
    image_sizes = (128, 256),
    clip = clip,
    timesteps = 1000,
    sample_timesteps = (250, 27),
    image_cond_drop_prob = 0.1,
    text_cond_drop_prob = 0.5
).cuda()

for unet_number in (1, 2):
    loss = decoder(images, text = text, unet_number = unet_number) # this can optionally be decoder(images, text) if you wish to condition on the text encodings as well, though it was hinted in the paper it didn't do much
    loss.backward()

# do above for many steps

dalle2 = DALLE2(
    prior = diffusion_prior,
    decoder = decoder
)

images = dalle2(
    ['a butterfly trying to escape a tornado'],
    cond_scale = 2. # classifier free guidance strength (> 1 would strengthen the condition)
)

# save your image (in this example, of size 256x256)

Alternatively, you can also use Open Clip

$ pip install open-clip-torch

Ex. using the SOTA Open Clip model trained by Romain

from dalle2_pytorch import OpenClipAdapter

clip = OpenClipAdapter('ViT-H/14')

Now you'll just have to worry about training the Prior and the Decoder!

Inpainting

Inpainting is also built into the Decoder. You simply have to pass in the inpaint_image and inpaint_mask (boolean tensor where True indicates which regions of the inpaint image to keep)

This repository uses the formulation put forth by Lugmayr et al. in Repaint

import torch
from dalle2_pytorch import Unet, Decoder, CLIP

# trained clip from step 1

clip = CLIP(
    dim_text = 512,
    dim_image = 512,
    dim_latent = 512,
    num_text_tokens = 49408,
    text_enc_depth = 6,
    text_seq_len = 256,
    text_heads = 8,
    visual_enc_depth = 6,
    visual_image_size = 256,
    visual_patch_size = 32,
    visual_heads = 8
).cuda()

# 2 unets for the decoder (a la cascading DDPM)

unet = Unet(
    dim = 16,
    image_embed_dim = 512,
    cond_dim = 128,
    channels = 3,
    dim_mults = (1, 1, 1, 1)
).cuda()


# decoder, which contains the unet(s) and clip

decoder = Decoder(
    clip = clip,
    unet = (unet,),               # insert both unets in order of low resolution to highest resolution (you can have as many stages as you want here)
    image_sizes = (256,),         # resolutions, 256 for first unet, 512 for second. these must be unique and in ascending order (matches with the unets passed in)
    timesteps = 1000,
    image_cond_drop_prob = 0.1,
    text_cond_drop_prob = 0.5
).cuda()

# mock images (get a lot of this)

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

# feed images into decoder, specifying which unet you want to train
# each unet can be trained separately, which is one of the benefits of the cascading DDPM scheme

loss = decoder(images, unet_number = 1)
loss.backward()

# do the above for many steps for both unets

mock_image_embed = torch.randn(1, 512).cuda()

# then to do inpainting

inpaint_image = torch.randn(1, 3, 256, 256).cuda()      # (batch, channels, height, width)
inpaint_mask = torch.ones(1, 256, 256).bool().cuda()    # (batch, height, width)

inpainted_images = decoder.sample(
    image_embed = mock_image_embed,
    inpaint_image = inpaint_image,    # just pass in the inpaint image
    inpaint_mask = inpaint_mask       # and the mask
)

inpainted_images.shape # (1, 3, 256, 256)

Experimental

DALL-E2 with Latent Diffusion

This repository decides to take the next step and offer DALL-E v2 combined with latent diffusion, from Rombach et al.

You can use it as follows. Latent diffusion can be limited to just the first U-Net in the cascade, or to any number you wish.

The repository also comes equipped with all the necessary settings to recreate ViT-VQGan from the Improved VQGans paper. Furthermore, the vector quantization library also comes equipped to do residual or multi-headed quantization, which I believe will give an even further boost in performance to the autoencoder.

Training wrapper

Decoder Training

Training the Decoder may be confusing, as one needs to keep track of an optimizer for each of the Unet(s) separately. Each Unet will also need its own corresponding exponential moving average. The DecoderTrainer hopes to make this simple, as shown below

import torch
from dalle2_pytorch import DALLE2, Unet, Decoder, CLIP, DecoderTrainer

clip = CLIP(
    dim_text = 512,
    dim_image = 512,
    dim_latent = 512,
    num_text_tokens = 49408,
    text_enc_depth = 6,
    text_seq_len = 256,
    text_heads = 8,
    visual_enc_depth = 6,
    visual_image_size = 256,
    visual_patch_size = 32,
    visual_heads = 8
).cuda()

# mock data

text = torch.randint(0, 49408, (32, 256)).cuda()
images = torch.randn(32, 3, 256, 256).cuda()

# decoder (with unet)

unet1 = Unet(
    dim = 128,
    image_embed_dim = 512,
    text_embed_dim = 512,
    cond_dim = 128,
    channels = 3,
    dim_mults=(1, 2, 4, 8),
    cond_on_text_encodings = True,
).cuda()

unet2 = Unet(
    dim = 16,
    image_embed_dim = 512,
    cond_dim = 128,
    channels = 3,
    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8, 16),
).cuda()

decoder = Decoder(
    unet = (unet1, unet2),
    image_sizes = (128, 256),
    clip = clip,
    timesteps = 1000
).cuda()

decoder_trainer = DecoderTrainer(
    decoder,
    lr = 3e-4,
    wd = 1e-2,
    ema_beta = 0.99,
    ema_update_after_step = 1000,
    ema_update_every = 10,
)

for unet_number in (1, 2):
    loss = decoder_trainer(
        images,
        text = text,
        unet_number = unet_number, # which unet to train on
        max_batch_size = 4         # gradient accumulation - this sets the maximum batch size in which to do forward and backwards pass - for this example 32 / 4 == 8 times
    )

    decoder_trainer.update(unet_number) # update the specific unet as well as its exponential moving average

# after much training
# you can sample from the exponentially moving averaged unets as so

mock_image_embed = torch.randn(32, 512).cuda()
images = decoder_trainer.sample(image_embed = mock_image_embed, text = text) # (4, 3, 256, 256)

Diffusion Prior Training

Similarly, one can use the DiffusionPriorTrainer to automatically instantiate and keep track of an exponential moving averaged prior.

import torch
from dalle2_pytorch import DALLE2, DiffusionPriorNetwork, DiffusionPrior, DiffusionPriorTrainer, Unet, Decoder, CLIP

clip = CLIP(
    dim_text = 512,
    dim_image = 512,
    dim_latent = 512,
    num_text_tokens = 49408,
    text_enc_depth = 6,
    text_seq_len = 256,
    text_heads = 8,
    visual_enc_depth = 6,
    visual_image_size = 256,
    visual_patch_size = 32,
    visual_heads = 8
).cuda()

# mock data

text = torch.randint(0, 49408, (512, 256)).cuda()
images = torch.randn(512, 3, 256, 256).cuda()

# prior networks (with transformer)

prior_network = DiffusionPriorNetwork(
    dim = 512,
    depth = 6,
    dim_head = 64,
    heads = 8
).cuda()

diffusion_prior = DiffusionPrior(
    net = prior_network,
    clip = clip,
    timesteps = 100,
    cond_drop_prob = 0.2
).cuda()

diffusion_prior_trainer = DiffusionPriorTrainer(
    diffusion_prior,
    lr = 3e-4,
    wd = 1e-2,
    ema_beta = 0.99,
    ema_update_after_step = 1000,
    ema_update_every = 10,
)

loss = diffusion_prior_trainer(text, images, max_batch_size = 4)
diffusion_prior_trainer.update()  # this will update the optimizer as well as the exponential moving averaged diffusion prior

# after much of the above three lines in a loop
# you can sample from the exponential moving average of the diffusion prior identically to how you do so for DiffusionPrior

image_embeds = diffusion_prior_trainer.sample(text, max_batch_size = 4) # (512, 512) - exponential moving averaged image embeddings

Bonus

Unconditional Training

The repository also contains the means to train unconditional DDPM model, or even cascading DDPMs. You simply have to set unconditional = True in the Decoder

ex.

import torch
from dalle2_pytorch import Unet, Decoder, DecoderTrainer

# unet for the cascading ddpm

unet1 = Unet(
    dim = 128,
    dim_mults=(1, 2, 4, 8)
).cuda()

unet2 = Unet(
    dim = 32,
    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8, 16)
).cuda()

# decoder, which contains the unets

decoder = Decoder(
    unet = (unet1, unet2),
    image_sizes = (256, 512),  # first unet up to 256px, then second to 512px
    timesteps = 1000,
    unconditional = True
).cuda()

# decoder trainer

decoder_trainer = DecoderTrainer(decoder)

# images (get a lot of this)

images = torch.randn(1, 3, 512, 512).cuda()

# feed images into decoder

for i in (1, 2):
    loss = decoder_trainer(images, unet_number = i)
    decoder_trainer.update(unet_number = i)

# do the above for many many many many images
# then it will learn to generate images

images = decoder_trainer.sample(batch_size = 36, max_batch_size = 4) # (36, 3, 512, 512)

Dataloaders

Decoder Dataloaders

In order to make loading data simple and efficient, we include some general dataloaders that can be used to train portions of the network.

Decoder: Image Embedding Dataset

When training the decoder (and up samplers if training together) in isolation, you will need to load images and corresponding image embeddings. This dataset can read two similar types of datasets. First, it can read a webdataset that contains .jpg and .npy files in the .tars that contain the images and associated image embeddings respectively. Alternatively, you can also specify a source for the embeddings outside of the webdataset. In this case, the path to the embeddings should contain .npy files with the same shard numbers as the webdataset and there should be a correspondence between the filename of the .jpg and the index of the embedding in the .npy. So, for example, 0001.tar from the webdataset with image 00010509.jpg (the first 4 digits are the shard number and the last 4 are the index) in it should be paralleled by a img_emb_0001.npy which contains a NumPy array with the embedding at index 509.

Generating a dataset of this type:

Use img2dataset to generate a webdataset.
Use clip-retrieval to convert the images to embeddings.
Use embedding-dataset-reordering to reorder the embeddings into the expected format.

Usage:

from dalle2_pytorch.dataloaders import ImageEmbeddingDataset, create_image_embedding_dataloader

# Create a dataloader directly.
dataloader = create_image_embedding_dataloader(
    tar_url="/path/or/url/to/webdataset/{0000..9999}.tar", # Uses bracket expanding notation. This specifies to read all tars from 0000.tar to 9999.tar
    embeddings_url="path/or/url/to/embeddings/folder",     # Included if .npy files are not in webdataset. Left out or set to None otherwise
    num_workers=4,
    batch_size=32,
    shard_width=4,                                         # If a file in the webdataset shard 3 is named 0003039.jpg, we know the shard width is 4 and the last three digits are the index
    shuffle_num=200,                                       # Does a shuffle of the data with a buffer size of 200
    shuffle_shards=True,                                   # Shuffle the order the shards are read in
    resample_shards=False,                                 # Sample shards with replacement. If true, an epoch will be infinite unless stopped manually
)
for img, emb in dataloader:
    print(img.shape)  # torch.Size([32, 3, 256, 256])
    print(emb["img"].shape)  # torch.Size([32, 512])
    # Train decoder only as shown above

# Or create a dataset without a loader so you can configure it manually
dataset = ImageEmbeddingDataset(
    urls="/path/or/url/to/webdataset/{0000..9999}.tar",
    embedding_folder_url="path/or/url/to/embeddings/folder",
    shard_width=4,
    shuffle_shards=True,
    resample=False
)

Todo

finish off gaussian diffusion class for latent embedding - allow for prediction of epsilon
add what was proposed in the paper, where DDPM objective for image latent embedding predicts x0 directly (reread vq-diffusion paper and get caught up on that line of work)
make sure it works end to end to produce an output tensor, taking a single gradient step
augment unet so that it can also be conditioned on text encodings (although in paper they hinted this didn't make much a difference)
figure out all the current bag of tricks needed to make DDPMs great (starting with the blur trick mentioned in paper)
build the cascading ddpm by having Decoder class manage multiple unets at different resolutions
add efficient attention in unet
be able to finely customize what to condition on (text, image embed) for specific unet in the cascade (super resolution ddpms near the end may not need too much conditioning)
offload unets not being trained on to CPU for memory efficiency (for training each resolution unets separately)
build out latent diffusion architecture, with the vq-reg variant (vqgan-vae), make it completely optional and compatible with cascading ddpms
for decoder, allow ability to customize objective (predict epsilon vs x0), in case latent diffusion does better with prediction of x0
use attention-based upsampling https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.11435
use inheritance just this once for sharing logic between decoder and prior network ddpms
bring in vit-vqgan https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.04627 for the latent diffusion
abstract interface for CLIP adapter class, so other CLIPs can be brought in
take care of mixed precision as well as gradient accumulation within decoder trainer
just take care of the training for the decoder in a wrapper class, as each unet in the cascade will need its own optimizer
bring in tools to train vqgan-vae
add convnext backbone for vqgan-vae (in addition to vit [vit-vqgan] + resnet)
make sure DDPMs can be run with traditional resnet blocks (but leave convnext as an option for experimentation)
make sure for the latter unets in the cascade, one can train on crops for learning super resolution (constrain the unet to be only convolutions in that case, or allow conv-like attention with rel pos bias)
offer setting in diffusion prior to split time and image embeddings into multiple tokens, configurable, for more surface area during attention
make sure resnet hyperparameters can be configurable across unet depth (groups and expansion factor)
pull logic for training diffusion prior into a class DiffusionPriorTrainer, for eventual script based + CLI based training
make sure the cascading ddpm in the repository can be trained unconditionally, offer a one-line CLI tool for training on a folder of images
bring in cross-scale embedding from iclr paper https://github.com/lucidrains/vit-pytorch/blob/main/vit_pytorch/crossformer.py#L14
cross embed layers for downsampling, as an option
use an experimental tracker agnostic setup, as done here
use pydantic for config drive training
for both diffusion prior and decoder, all exponential moving averaged models needs to be saved and restored as well (as well as the step number)
offer save / load methods on the trainer classes to automatically take care of state dicts for scalers / optimizers / saving versions and checking for breaking changes
allow for creation of diffusion prior model off pydantic config classes - consider the same for tracker configs
bring in skip-layer excitations (from lightweight gan paper) to see if it helps for either decoder of unet or vqgan-vae training (doesnt work well)
test out grid attention in cascading ddpm locally, decide whether to keep or remove https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.01697 (keeping, seems to be fine)
allow for unet to be able to condition non-cross attention style as well
speed up inference, read up on papers (ddim)
add inpainting ability using resampler from repaint paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.09865
add the final combination of upsample feature maps, used in unet squared, seems to have an effect in local experiments
consider elucidated dalle2 https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.00364
add simple outpainting, text-guided 2x size the image for starters
interface out the vqgan-vae so a pretrained one can be pulled off the shelf to validate latent diffusion + DALL-E2
