Results

The displayed results are based on the implementation of a DDPM variant trained on the Calgary Preschool Dataset, with parameters specified in the ddpm.py file. The animation illustrates the generated samples at every 10th epoch throughout the training process, which spans 1,000 epochs.

Diffusion Models

This is an easy-to-understand implementation of diffusion models within 100 lines of code. Different from other implementations, this code doesn't use the lower-bound formulation for sampling and strictly follows Algorithm 1 from the DDPM paper, which makes it extremely short and easy to follow. There are two implementations: conditional and unconditional. Furthermore, the conditional code also implements Classifier-Free-Guidance (CFG) and Exponential-Moving-Average (EMA). Below you can find two explanation videos for the theory behind diffusion models and the implementation.

Train a Diffusion Model on your own data:

Unconditional Training

1. (optional) Configure Hyperparameters in ddpm.py
2. Set path to dataset in ddpm.py
3. python ddpm.py

Conditional Training

1. (optional) Configure Hyperparameters in ddpm_conditional.py
2. Set path to dataset in ddpm_conditional.py
3. python ddpm_conditional.py

Sampling

The following examples show how to sample images using the models trained in the video on the Landscape Dataset. You can download the checkpoints for the models here.

Unconditional Model

    device = "cuda"
    model = UNet().to(device)
    ckpt = torch.load("unconditional_ckpt.pt")
    model.load_state_dict(ckpt)
    diffusion = Diffusion(img_size=64, device=device)
    x = diffusion.sample(model, n=16)
    plot_images(x)

Conditional Model

This model was trained on CIFAR-10 64x64 with 10 classes airplane:0, auto:1, bird:2, cat:3, deer:4, dog:5, frog:6, horse:7, ship:8, truck:9

    n = 10
    device = "cuda"
    model = UNet_conditional(num_classes=10).to(device)
    ckpt = torch.load("conditional_ema_ckpt.pt")
    model.load_state_dict(ckpt)
    diffusion = Diffusion(img_size=64, device=device)
    y = torch.Tensor([6] * n).long().to(device)
    x = diffusion.sample(model, n, y, cfg_scale=3)
    plot_images(x)

A more advanced version of this code can be found here by @tcapelle. It introduces better logging, faster & more efficient training and other nice features and is also being followed by a nice write-up.
