Requirements

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

conda env create -f environment.yaml
conda activate ldm

Model Zoo

Pretrained Autoencoding Models

Get the models

Running the following script downloads und extracts all available pretrained autoencoding models.

bash scripts/download_first_stages.sh

The first stage models can then be found in models/first_stage_models/<model_spec>

Pretrained LDMs

Get the models

The LDMs listed above can jointly be downloaded and extracted via

bash scripts/download_models.sh

The models can then be found in models/ldm/<model_spec>.

Sampling with unconditional models

We provide a first script for sampling from our unconditional models. 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> 

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.

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)}.

Coming Soon...

• More inference scripts for conditional LDMs.
• In the meantime, you can play with our colab notebook https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1xqzUi2iXQXDqXBHQGP9Mqt2YrYW6cx-J?usp=sharing
• We will also release some further pretrained models.

Comments

• Our codebase for the diffusion models builds heavily on OpenAI's codebase and https://github.com/lucidrains/denoising-diffusion-pytorch. Thanks for open-sourcing!

• The implementation of the transformer encoder is from x-transformers by lucidrains.
