Applying Guidance in a Limited Interval Improves Sample and Distribution Quality in Diffusion Models

no code implementations11 Apr 2024 Tuomas Kynkäänniemi, Miika Aittala, Tero Karras, Samuli Laine, Timo Aila, Jaakko Lehtinen

We show that guidance is clearly harmful toward the beginning of the chain (high noise levels), largely unnecessary toward the end (low noise levels), and only beneficial in the middle.

Elucidating the Design Space of Diffusion-Based Generative Models

12 code implementations1 Jun 2022 Tero Karras, Miika Aittala, Timo Aila, Samuli Laine

We argue that the theory and practice of diffusion-based generative models are currently unnecessarily convoluted and seek to remedy the situation by presenting a design space that clearly separates the concrete design choices.

The Role of ImageNet Classes in Fréchet Inception Distance

1 code implementation11 Mar 2022 Tuomas Kynkäänniemi, Tero Karras, Miika Aittala, Timo Aila, Jaakko Lehtinen

Fr\'echet Inception Distance (FID) is the primary metric for ranking models in data-driven generative modeling.

Noise2Noise: Learning Image Restoration without Clean Data

21 code implementations ICML 2018 Jaakko Lehtinen, Jacob Munkberg, Jon Hasselgren, Samuli Laine, Tero Karras, Miika Aittala, Timo Aila

We apply basic statistical reasoning to signal reconstruction by machine learning -- learning to map corrupted observations to clean signals -- with a simple and powerful conclusion: it is possible to learn to restore images by only looking at corrupted examples, at performance at and sometimes exceeding training using clean data, without explicit image priors or likelihood models of the corruption.

Audio-Driven Facial Animation by Joint End-to-End Learning of Pose and Emotion

no code implementations SIGGRAPH 2017 Tero Karras, Timo Aila, Samuli Laine, Antti Herva, Jaakko Lehtinen

Our deep neural network learns a mapping from input waveforms to the 3D vertex coordinates of a face model, and simultaneously discovers a compact, latent code that disambiguates the variations in facial expression that cannot be explained by the audio alone.
