These are some notes from HF’s Diffusion Models live event.

I was mainly interested in future opportunities (as of Nov 2022) of Stable Diffusion, so I only took notes on these points.

Devi Parikh: Make-A-Video

Devi Parikh’s site

How does make-a-video work at a high level?

  • the input can be text OR an image
  • “uses images with text description to learn what the world looks like and how often it is described”
  • “also uses unlabeled videos to learn how the world moves”

AudioGen

  • text to audio generation

Justin Pinkney: Beyond Text

Justin Pinkney’s site

Text isn’t always enough

Stable diffusion’s text encoder can be replaced with other things for interesting effects (eg. CLIP image encoder)

Experiments with face variations

  • CLIP encoder that takes 2 encodings, 1 that is focused on the face region and the other where the face is masked out
  • 2 embeddings generated and fed into unet

Super Resolution

Take a lower resolution image and turn it into a high resolution image

  • Takes a whole image as an input and passed to unet
  • decoder turns it into a higher resolution

Next Frame Prediction

  • Takes a video and treats it as a sequence of frames
  • Take a network and use it to predict the next frame
