  • Publication number: 20240161250
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for generating a content item. The techniques include performing one or more first denoising operations based on an input and a first machine learning model to generate a first content item, and performing one or more second denoising operations based on the input, the first content item, and a second machine learning model to generate a second content item, where the first machine learning model is trained to denoise content items having an amount of corruption within a first corruption range, the second machine learning model is trained to denoise content items having an amount of corruption within a second corruption range, and the second corruption range is lower than the first corruption range.

  • Publication number: 20240161403
    Abstract: Text-to-image generation generally refers to the process of generating an image from one or more text prompts input by a user. While artificial intelligence has been a valuable tool for text-to-image generation, current artificial intelligence-based solutions are more limited as it relates to text-to-3D content creation. For example, these solutions are oftentimes category-dependent, or synthesize 3D content at a low resolution. The present disclosure provides a process and architecture for high-resolution text-to-3D content creation.

  • Publication number: 20230109379
    Abstract: Systems and methods described relate to the synthesis of content using generative models. In at least one embodiment, a score-based generative model can use a stochastic differential equation with critically-damped Langevin diffusion to learn to synthesize content. During a forward diffusion process, noise can be introduced into a set of auxiliary (e.g., “velocity”) values for an input image to learn a score function. This score function can be used with the stochastic differential equation during a reverse diffusion denoising process to remove noise from the image to generate a reconstructed version of the input image. A score matching objective for the critically-damped Langevin diffusion process can require only the conditional distribution learned from the velocity data. A stochastic differential equation-based integrator can then allow for efficient sampling from these critically-damped Langevin diffusion-based models.

  • Publication number: 20230095092
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques are presented to train and utilize one or more neural networks. A denoising diffusion generative adversarial network (denoising diffusion GAN) reduces a number of denoising steps during a reverse process. The denoising diffusion GAN does not assume a Gaussian distribution for large steps of the denoising process and applies a multi-model model to permit denoising with fewer steps. Systems and methods further minimize a divergence between a diffused real data distribution and a diffused generator distribution over several timesteps. Accordingly, various embodiments may enable faster sample generation, in which the samples are generated from noise using the denoising diffusion GAN.

  • Publication number: 20220405583
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for training a generative model. The technique includes converting a first data point included in a training dataset into a first set of values associated with a base distribution for a score-based generative model. The technique also includes performing one or more denoising operations via the score-based generative model to convert the first set of values into a first set of latent variable values associated with a latent space. The technique further includes performing one or more additional operations to convert the first set of latent variable values into a second data point. Finally, the technique includes computing one or more losses based on the first data point and the second data point and generating a trained generative model based on the one or more losses, wherein the trained generative model includes the score-based generative model.

  • Publication number: 20220383570
    Abstract: In various examples, high-precision semantic image editing for machine learning systems and applications are described. For example, a generative adversarial network (GAN) may be used to jointly model images and their semantic segmentations based on a same underlying latent code. Image editing may be achieved by using segmentation mask modifications (e.g., provided by a user, or otherwise) to optimize the latent code to be consistent with the updated segmentation, thus effectively changing the original, e.g., RGB image. To improve efficiency of the system, and to not require optimizations for each edit on each image, editing vectors may be learned in latent space that realize the edits, and that can be directly applied on other images with or without additional optimizations. As a result, a GAN in combination with the optimization approaches described herein may simultaneously allow for high precision editing in real-time with straightforward compositionality of multiple edits.

  • Publication number: 20220101145
    Abstract: One embodiment sets forth a technique for creating a generative model. The technique includes generating a trained generative model with a first component that converts data points in the training dataset into latent variable values, a second component that learns a distribution of the latent variable values, and a third component that converts the latent variable values into output distributions. The technique also includes training an energy-based model to learn an energy function based on values sampled from a first distribution associated with the training dataset and values sampled from a second distribution during operation of the trained generative model. The technique further includes creating a joint model that includes one or more portions of the trained generative model and the energy-based model, and that applies energy values from the energy-based model to samples from the second distribution to produce additional values used to generate a new data point.

    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for generating data using a generative model. The technique includes sampling from one or more distributions of one or more variables to generate a first set of values for the one or more variables, where the one or more distributions are used during operation of one or more portions of the generative model. The technique also includes applying one or more energy values generated via an energy-based model to the first set of values to produce a second set of values for the one or more variables. The technique further includes either outputting the set of second values as output data or performing one or more operations based on the second set of values to generate output data.
