taming-transformers VS projected-gan

taming-transformers

What’s your goal exactly? Are you trying to make a transformer based auto encoder of audio spectrograms? If so you should either start with either a proven ViT-based AE implementation (either a VAE or a VQ-GAN). But I don’t see why you necessarily need a ViT for this, if you’re working at a much smaller scale a convolutional architecture is plenty and much more amenable to beginners. See https://github.com/CompVis/taming-transformers for an example of a convolutional VQ GAN.

Command: "git" clone "https://github.com/CompVis/taming-transformers.git" "C:\AI\stable-diffusion-webui\repositories\taming-transformers"

See https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.09841 for prior work. SD authors swap out the Transformer and language modelling objective with a UNet diffusion objective. In general, the more inductive bias your model has, the more efficient it can be. ChatGPT runs purely on a Transformer architecture, which has far fewer priors than a CNN and requires far more parameters as a result. This may not be the case in the future.

There is definitely a cmd but I can't tell you. It's on GitHub https://github.com/CompVis/taming-transformers

I wasn’t able to find a “taming” folder within the site-packages folder so I decided to look up how to get VectorQuantizer2 and taming.modules.vqvae.quantize and found this link: https://github.com/CompVis/taming-transformers/blob/master/taming/modules/vqvae/quantize.py I copied the raw contents and pasted that to the terminal and I got this error: “zsh: parse error near `)’” I’m not sure how to fix this so I can install VectorQuantizer2 so I can use InvokeAI. How do I fix this?

I say this to everyone... Even if SD and the model is legit and legal. Do not go around commercialising it's outputs or claiming ownership over them... and if you do the properly cite the source of the model and system along with it. In https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion, https://github.com/CompVis/taming-transformers and https://huggingface.co/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4 there are citiations provided for you to use for a reason. I recommend you to use them.

Use the images as a training dataset for this

If you are looking for more traditional noise -> xxx GANs, go for https://github.com/autonomousvision/projected_gan/. Another recent work is https://github.com/nupurkmr9/vision-aided-gan.

Made with two ml algorithms, one that generates a tiny 256x256 'base' image, and another that upscales it. Both of them have been trained on a astrophotography-based dataset, but the model architecture are open sourced from Projected-Gan and Real-ESRGAN respectively.

Projected GANs are maybe the currently best model for small datasets. You could also check out StyleGAN 2 ada. https://github.com/autonomousvision/projected_gan

Researchers from the University of Tübingen, Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, and Heidelberg have studied ways to improve GAN training by using pre-trained representations. The researchers proposed a more effective strategy (Projected-GAN) that combines features across channels and resolutions.
