Official PyTorch implementation of "Tackling the Generative Learning Trilemma with Denoising Diffusion GANs" (ICLR 2022 Spotlight Paper)
Generative denoising diffusion models typically assume that the denoising distribution can be modeled by a Gaussian distribution. This assumption holds only for small denoising steps, which in practice translates to thousands of denoising steps in the synthesis process. In our denoising diffusion GANs, we represent the denoising model using multimodal and complex conditional GANs, enabling us to efficiently generate data in as few as two steps.
We trained on several datasets, including CIFAR10, LSUN Church Outdoor 256 and CelebA HQ 256. For large datasets, we store the data in LMDB datasets for I/O efficiency. Check here for information regarding dataset preparation.
We use the following commands on each dataset for training denoising diffusion GANs.
We train Denoising Diffusion GANs on CIFAR-10 using 4 32-GB V100 GPU.
python3 train_ddgan.py --dataset cifar10 --exp ddgan_cifar10_exp1 --num_channels 3 --num_channels_dae 128 --num_timesteps 4 \
--num_res_blocks 2 --batch_size 64 --num_epoch 1800 --ngf 64 --nz 100 --z_emb_dim 256 --n_mlp 4 --embedding_type positional \
--use_ema --ema_decay 0.9999 --r1_gamma 0.02 --lr_d 1.25e-4 --lr_g 1.6e-4 --lazy_reg 15 --num_process_per_node 4 \
--ch_mult 1 2 2 2 --save_content
We train Denoising Diffusion GANs on LSUN Church Outdoor 256 using 8 32-GB V100 GPU.
python3 train_ddgan.py --dataset lsun --image_size 256 --exp ddgan_lsun_exp1 --num_channels 3 --num_channels_dae 64 --ch_mult 1 1 2 2 4 4 --num_timesteps 4 \
--num_res_blocks 2 --batch_size 8 --num_epoch 500 --ngf 64 --embedding_type positional --use_ema --ema_decay 0.999 --r1_gamma 1. \
--z_emb_dim 256 --lr_d 1e-4 --lr_g 1.6e-4 --lazy_reg 10 --num_process_per_node 8 --save_content
We train Denoising Diffusion GANs on CelebA HQ 256 using 8 32-GB V100 GPUs.
python3 train_ddgan.py --dataset celeba_256 --image_size 256 --exp ddgan_celebahq_exp1 --num_channels 3 --num_channels_dae 64 --ch_mult 1 1 2 2 4 4 --num_timesteps 2 \
--num_res_blocks 2 --batch_size 4 --num_epoch 800 --ngf 64 --embedding_type positional --use_ema --r1_gamma 2. \
--z_emb_dim 256 --lr_d 1e-4 --lr_g 2e-4 --lazy_reg 10 --num_process_per_node 8 --save_content
We have released pretrained checkpoints on CIFAR-10 and CelebA HQ 256 at this
Google drive directory.
Simply download the saved_info directory to the code directory. Use --epoch_id 1200 for CIFAR-10 and --epoch_id 550
for CelebA HQ 256 in the commands below.
After training, samples can be generated by calling test_ddgan.py. We evaluate the models with single V100 GPU.
Below, we use --epoch_id to specify the checkpoint saved at a particular epoch.
Specifically, for models trained by above commands, the scripts for generating samples on CIFAR-10 is
python3 test_ddgan.py --dataset cifar10 --exp ddgan_cifar10_exp1 --num_channels 3 --num_channels_dae 128 --num_timesteps 4 \
--num_res_blocks 2 --nz 100 --z_emb_dim 256 --n_mlp 4 --ch_mult 1 2 2 2 --epoch_id $EPOCH
The scripts for generating samples on CelebA HQ is
python3 test_ddgan.py --dataset celeba_256 --image_size 256 --exp ddgan_celebahq_exp1 --num_channels 3 --num_channels_dae 64 \
--ch_mult 1 1 2 2 4 4 --num_timesteps 2 --num_res_blocks 2 --epoch_id $EPOCH
The scripts for generating samples on LSUN Church Outdoor is
python3 test_ddgan.py --dataset lsun --image_size 256 --exp ddgan_lsun_exp1 --num_channels 3 --num_channels_dae 64 \
--ch_mult 1 1 2 2 4 4 --num_timesteps 4 --num_res_blocks 2 --epoch_id $EPOCH
We use the PyTorch implementation to compute the FID scores, and in particular, codes for computing the FID are adapted from FastDPM.
To compute FID, run the same scripts above for sampling, with additional arguments --compute_fid and --real_img_dir /path/to/real/images.
For Inception Score, save samples in a single numpy array with pixel values in range [0, 255] and simply run
python ./pytorch_fid/inception_score.py --sample_dir /path/to/sampled_images
where the code for computing Inception Score is adapted from here.
