DEISMultistepScheduler

Diffusion Exponential Integrator Sampler (DEIS) is proposed in Fast Sampling of Diffusion Models with Exponential Integrator by Qinsheng Zhang and Yongxin Chen. `DEISMultistepScheduler` is a fast high order solver for diffusion ordinary differential equations (ODEs).

This implementation modifies the polynomial fitting formula in log-rho space instead of the original linear `t` space in the DEIS paper. The modification enjoys closed-form coefficients for exponential multistep update instead of replying on the numerical solver.

The abstract from the paper is:

The past few years have witnessed the great success of Diffusion models~(DMs) in generating high-fidelity samples in generative modeling tasks. A major limitation of the DM is its notoriously slow sampling procedure which normally requires hundreds to thousands of time discretization steps of the learned diffusion process to reach the desired accuracy. Our goal is to develop a fast sampling method for DMs with a much less number of steps while retaining high sample quality. To this end, we systematically analyze the sampling procedure in DMs and identify key factors that affect the sample quality, among which the method of discretization is most crucial. By carefully examining the learned diffusion process, we propose Diffusion Exponential Integrator Sampler~(DEIS). It is based on the Exponential Integrator designed for discretizing ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and leverages a semilinear structure of the learned diffusion process to reduce the discretization error. The proposed method can be applied to any DMs and can generate high-fidelity samples in as few as 10 steps. In our experiments, it takes about 3 minutes on one A6000 GPU to generate 50k images from CIFAR10. Moreover, by directly using pre-trained DMs, we achieve the state-of-art sampling performance when the number of score function evaluation~(NFE) is limited, e.g., 4.17 FID with 10 NFEs, 3.37 FID, and 9.74 IS with only 15 NFEs on CIFAR10.

Tips

It is recommended to set `solver_order` to 2 or 3, while `solver_order=1` is equivalent to DDIMScheduler.

Dynamic thresholding from Imagen is supported, and for pixel-space diffusion models, you can set `thresholding=True` to use the dynamic thresholding.

( num_train_timesteps: int = 1000 beta_start: float = 0.0001 beta_end: float = 0.02 beta_schedule: str = 'linear' trained_betas: Optional = None solver_order: int = 2 prediction_type: str = 'epsilon' thresholding: bool = False dynamic_thresholding_ratio: float = 0.995 sample_max_value: float = 1.0 algorithm_type: str = 'deis' solver_type: str = 'logrho' lower_order_final: bool = True use_karras_sigmas: Optional = False timestep_spacing: str = 'linspace' steps_offset: int = 0 )

Parameters

- num_train_timesteps (`int`, defaults to 1000) — The number of diffusion steps to train the model.
- beta_start (`float`, defaults to 0.0001) — The starting `beta` value of inference.
- beta_end (`float`, defaults to 0.02) — The final `beta` value.
- beta_schedule (`str`, defaults to `"linear"`) — The beta schedule, a mapping from a beta range to a sequence of betas for stepping the model. Choose from `linear`, `scaled_linear`, or `squaredcos_cap_v2`.
- trained_betas (`np.ndarray`, optional) — Pass an array of betas directly to the constructor to bypass `beta_start` and `beta_end`.
- solver_order (`int`, defaults to 2) — The DEIS order which can be `1` or `2` or `3`. It is recommended to use `solver_order=2` for guided sampling, and `solver_order=3` for unconditional sampling.
- prediction_type (`str`, defaults to `epsilon`) — Prediction type of the scheduler function; can be `epsilon` (predicts the noise of the diffusion process), `sample` (directly predicts the noisy sample`) or` v_prediction` (see section 2.4 of Imagen Video paper).
- thresholding (`bool`, defaults to `False`) — Whether to use the “dynamic thresholding” method. This is unsuitable for latent-space diffusion models such as Stable Diffusion.
- dynamic_thresholding_ratio (`float`, defaults to 0.995) — The ratio for the dynamic thresholding method. Valid only when `thresholding=True`.
- sample_max_value (`float`, defaults to 1.0) — The threshold value for dynamic thresholding. Valid only when `thresholding=True`.
- algorithm_type (`str`, defaults to `deis`) — The algorithm type for the solver.
- lower_order_final (`bool`, defaults to `True`) — Whether to use lower-order solvers in the final steps. Only valid for < 15 inference steps.
- use_karras_sigmas (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether to use Karras sigmas for step sizes in the noise schedule during the sampling process. If `True`, the sigmas are determined according to a sequence of noise levels {σi}.
- timestep_spacing (`str`, defaults to `"linspace"`) — The way the timesteps should be scaled. Refer to Table 2 of the Common Diffusion Noise Schedules and Sample Steps are Flawed for more information.
- steps_offset (`int`, defaults to 0) — An offset added to the inference steps, as required by some model families.

`DEISMultistepScheduler` is a fast high order solver for diffusion ordinary differential equations (ODEs).

This model inherits from SchedulerMixin and ConfigMixin. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all schedulers such as loading and saving.
