PFGM++: Unlocking the Potential of Physics-Inspired Generative Models

Pytorch implementation of the paper PFGM++: Unlocking the Potential of Physics-Inspired Generative Models

by Yilun Xu, Ziming Liu, Yonglong Tian, Shangyuan Tong, Max Tegmark, Tommi S. Jaakkola

😇 Improvements over PFGM / Diffusion Models:

  • No longer require the large batch training target in PFGM, thus enable flexible conditional generation and more efficient training!
  • More general $D \in \mathbb{R}^+$ dimensional augmented variable. PFGM++ subsumes PFGM and Diffusion Models: PFGM correspond to $D=1$ and Diffusion Models correspond to $D\to \infty$.
  • Existence of sweet spot $D^*$ in the middle of $(1,\infty)$!
  • Smaller $D$ more robust than Diffusion Models ( $D\to \infty$ )
  • Enable the adjustment for model robustness and rigidity!
  • Enable direct transfer of well-tuned hyperparameters from any existing Diffusion Models ( $D\to \infty$ )

Abstract: We present a general framework termed PFGM++ that unifies diffusion models and Poisson Flow Generative Models (PFGM). These models realize generative trajectories for $N$ dimensional data by embedding paths in $N{+}D$ dimensional space while still controlling the progression with a simple scalar norm of the $D$ additional variables. The new models reduce to PFGM when $D{=}1$ and to diffusion models when $D{\to}\infty$. The flexibility of choosing $D$ allows us to trade off robustness against rigidity as increasing $D$ results in more concentrated coupling between the data and the additional variable norms. We dispense with the biased large batch field targets used in PFGM and instead provide an unbiased perturbation-based objective similar to diffusion models. To explore different choices of $D$, we provide a direct alignment method for transferring well-tuned hyperparameters from diffusion models ( $D{\to} \infty$ ) to any finite $D$ values. Our experiments show that models with finite $D$ can be superior to previous state-of-the-art diffusion models on CIFAR-10/FFHQ $64{\times}64$ datasets, with FID scores of $1.91/2.43$ when $D{=}2048/128$. In addition, we demonstrate that models with smaller $D$ exhibit improved robustness against modeling errors.

Outline

Our implementation is built upon the EDM repo. We first provide an guidance on how to quickly transfer the hyperparameter from well-tuned diffusion models ( $D\to \infty$ ), such as EDM and DDPM, to the PFGM++ family ( $D\in \mathbb{R}^+$ ) in a task/dataset agnostic way (We provide more details in Sec 4 ( Transfer hyperparameters to finite $D$ ) and Appendix C.2 in our paper). We highlight our modifications based on their original command lines for training, sampling and evaluation.

We also provide the original instruction for set-ups, such as environmental requirements and dataset preparation, from EDM repo.

Transfer guidance by $r=\sigma\sqrt{D}$ formula

Below we provide the guidance for how to quick transfer the well-tuned hyperparameters for diffusion models ( $D\to \infty$ ), such as $\sigma_{\textrm{max}}$ and $p(\sigma)$ to finite $D$s. We adopt the $r=\sigma\sqrt{D}$ formula in our paper for the alignment (c.f. Section 4). Please use the following guidance as a prototype.

😀 Please adjust the augmented dimension $D$ according to your task/dataset/model.

Training hyperparameter transfer. The example we provide is a simplified version of loss.py in this repo.

Sampling hyperparameter transfer. The example we provide is a simplified version of generate.py in this repo. As shown in the figure below, the only modification is the prior sampling process. Hence we only include the comparision of prior sampling for diffusion models / PFGM++ in the code snippet.

Training PFGM++

You can train new models using train.py. For example:

torchrun --standalone --nproc_per_node=8 train.py --outdir=training-runs --name exp_name \
--data=datasets/cifar10-32x32.zip --cond=0 --arch=arch \
--pfgmpp=1 --batch 512 \
--aug_dim aug_dim

exp_name: name of experiments
aug_dim: D (additional dimensions)  
arch: model architectures. options: ncsnpp | ddpmpp
pfgmpp: use PFGM++ framework, otherwise diffusion models (D\to\infty case). options: 0 | 1

The above example uses the default batch size of 512 images (controlled by --batch) that is divided evenly among 8 GPUs (controlled by --nproc_per_node) to yield 64 images per GPU. Training large models may run out of GPU memory; the best way to avoid this is to limit the per-GPU batch size, e.g., --batch-gpu=32. This employs gradient accumulation to yield the same results as using full per-GPU batches. See python train.py --help for the full list of options.

The results of each training run are saved to a newly created directory training-runs/exp_name . The training loop exports network snapshots training-state-*.pt) at regular intervals (controlled by --dump). The network snapshots can be used to generate images with generate.py, and the training states can be used to resume the training later on (--resume). Other useful information is recorded in log.txt and stats.jsonl. To monitor training convergence, we recommend looking at the training loss ("Loss/loss" in stats.jsonl) as well as periodically evaluating FID for training-state-*.pt using generate.py and fid.py.

For FFHQ dataset, replacing --data=datasets/cifar10-32x32.zip with --data=datasets/ffhq-64x64.zip

Sidenote: The original EDM repo provide more dataset: FFHQ, AFHQv2, ImageNet-64. We did not test the performance of PFGM++ on these datasets due to limited computational resources. However, we believe that the some finte $D$s (sweet spots) would beat the diffusion models (the $D\to\infty$ case). Please let us know if you have those resutls 😀

TODO: All checkpoints are provided in this Google drive folder.

Generate & Evaluations

  • Generate 50k samples:

    torchrun --standalone --nproc_per_node=8 generate.py \
--seeds=0-49999 --outdir=./training-runs/exp_name \
--pfgmpp=1 --aug_dim=aug_dim
   
exp_name: name of experiments
aug_dim: D (additional dimensions)  
arch: model architectures. options: ncsnpp | ddpmpp
pfgmpp: use PFGM++ framework, otherwise diffusion models (D\to\infty case). options: 0 | 1

Note that the numerical value of FID varies across different random seeds and is highly sensitive to the number of images. By default, fid.py will always use 50,000 generated images; providing fewer images will result in an error, whereas providing more will use a random subset. To reduce the effect of random variation, we recommend repeating the calculation multiple times with different seeds, e.g., --seeds=0-49999, --seeds=50000-99999, and --seeds=100000-149999. In the EDM paper, they calculated each FID three times and reported the minimum.

For the FID versus controlled $\alpha$/NFE/quantization, please use generate_alpha.py/generate_steps.py/generate_quant.py for generation.
