Character-Aware Models Improve Visual Text Rendering

ACL 2023long

Current image generation models struggle to reliably produce well-formed visual text. In this paper, we investigate a key contributing factor: popular text-to-image models lack character-level input features, making it much harder to predict a word’s visual makeup as a series of glyphs. To quantify…

Imagen Editor and EditBench: Advancing and Evaluating Text-Guided Image Inpainting

CVPR 2023highlight

Text-guided image editing can have a transformative impact in supporting creative applications. A key challenge is to generate edits that are faithful to the input text prompt, while consistent with the input image. We present Imagen Editor, a cascaded diffusion model, built by fine-tuning Imagen on…

Re-Imagen: Retrieval-Augmented Text-to-Image Generator

ICLR 2023poster

Research on text-to-image generation has witnessed significant progress in generating diverse and photo-realistic images, driven by diffusion and auto-regressive models trained on large-scale image-text data. Though state-of-the-art models can generate high-quality images of common entities, they of…

TryOnDiffusion: A Tale of Two UNets

CVPR 2023poster

Given two images depicting a person and a garment worn by another person, our goal is to generate a visualization of how the garment might look on the input person. A key challenge is to synthesize a photorealistic detail-preserving visualization of the garment, while warping the garment to accommod…

Deblurring via Stochastic Refinement

CVPR 2022oral

Image deblurring is an ill-posed problem with multiple plausible solutions for a given input image. However, most existing methods produce a deterministic estimate of the clean image and are trained to minimize pixel-level distortion. These metrics are known to be poorly correlated with human percep…

Photorealistic Text-to-Image Diffusion Models with Deep Language Understanding

NeurIPS 2022accept

We present Imagen, a text-to-image diffusion model with an unprecedented degree of photorealism and a deep level of language understanding. Imagen builds on the power of large transformer language models in understanding text and hinges on the strength of diffusion models in high-fidelity image gene…

Imputer: Sequence Modelling via Imputation and Dynamic Programming

ICML 2020poster

This paper presents the Imputer, a neural sequence model that generates output sequences iteratively via imputations. The Imputer is an iterative generation model, requiring only a constant number of generation steps independent of the number of input or output tokens. The Imputer can be trained to…

BabyAI: A Platform to Study the Sample Efficiency of Grounded Language Learning

ICLR 2019poster

Allowing humans to interactively train artificial agents to understand language instructions is desirable for both practical and scientific reasons. Though, given the lack of sample efficiency in current learning methods, reaching this goal may require substantial research efforts. We introduce th…
