Diffusion Image Generation with Invertible Latent Optimization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for latent optimization in image generation via diffusion models require excessive memory or computational resources due to the need to store or recompute intermediate latents during the backward pass, making them impractical for efficient image generation.
Innovation Solution
The use of invertible diffusion processes, such as EDICT, allows for direct optimization of diffusion latents with constant memory cost by reconstructing intermediate activations as needed, eliminating the need for storage or recomputation during the backward pass.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If intermediate latents are stored in memory during forward pass for backward pass gradient calculations, then gradient computation is enabled, but memory requirements become excessively high
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-computing and storing only the necessary summary statistics (mean and variance) during the forward pass, rather than storing all intermediate latents. This allows gradient computation to proceed during the backward pass using these pre-computed statistics, enabling gradient flow without excessive memory storage requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts only the essential information needed for gradient computation (the mean and variance statistics) from the full intermediate latents. By taking out only these critical components rather than storing complete intermediate representations, the system enables gradient computation while dramatically reducing memory requirements.
2Reliability
If intermediate latents are recompute d repeatedly at each backward step, then gradient calculations can proceed, but computation time becomes excessively long
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary computation of the mean and variance statistics during the forward pass, storing them for later use. During the backward pass, these pre-computed values are reused directly rather than recomputing intermediate latents, significantly reducing computation time while maintaining gradient calculation accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a compact copy of the essential statistical information (mean and variance) that can be reused during the backward pass. This copied summary data replaces the need for repeated computation of full intermediate latents, reducing computational overhead while preserving gradient computation capability.
3Reliability
If the model parameters are updated through backpropagation, then learning capability is improved, but computational complexity and resource requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and optimizes the backward pass computation to use only the pre-computed mean and variance statistics rather than requiring access to all intermediate latents. This extraction of essential information simplifies the computational graph and reduces the complexity of the backward propagation process while maintaining full learning capability through gradient-based parameter updates.

AI summary
Embodiments described herein provide a method of generating an image. the method comprises receiving, via a data interface, a natural language prompt, obtaining a noised image vector, and generating a denoised image vector by a first forward pass of a plurality of iterations of a denoising diffusion model with the noised image vector as an input and conditioned on the natural language prompt. The method further includes calculating a gradient of a loss function based on the denoised image vector with respect to the noised image vector, and updating the noised image vector based on the gradient. A final image is generated using a final forward pass of the denoising diffusion model with the updated noised image vector as an input and conditioned on the natural language prompt.
