Improving Sample Quality of Diffusion Models Using Self-Attention Guidance is by Susung Hong et al.
The abstract from the paper is:
Denoising diffusion models (DDMs) have attracted attention for their exceptional generation quality and diversity. This success is largely attributed to the use of class- or text-conditional diffusion guidance methods, such as classifier and classifier-free guidance. In this paper, we present a more comprehensive perspective that goes beyond the traditional guidance methods. From this generalized perspective, we introduce novel condition- and training-free strategies to enhance the quality of generated images. As a simple solution, blur guidance improves the suitability of intermediate samples for their fine-scale information and structures, enabling diffusion models to generate higher quality samples with a moderate guidance scale. Improving upon this, Self-Attention Guidance (SAG) uses the intermediate self-attention maps of diffusion models to enhance their stability and efficacy. Specifically, SAG adversarially blurs only the regions that diffusion models attend to at each iteration and guides them accordingly. Our experimental results show that our SAG improves the performance of various diffusion models, including ADM, IDDPM, Stable Diffusion, and DiT. Moreover, combining SAG with conventional guidance methods leads to further improvement.
You can find additional information about Self-Attention Guidance on the project page, original codebase, and try it out in a demo or notebook.

StableDiffusionPipelineOutput or tuple
Parameters
str
or List[str]
, optional) —
The prompt or prompts to guide image generation. If not defined, you need to pass prompt_embeds
.
int
, optional, defaults to self.unet.config.sample_size * self.vae_scale_factor
) —
The height in pixels of the generated image.
int
, optional, defaults to self.unet.config.sample_size * self.vae_scale_factor
) —
The width in pixels of the generated image.
int
, optional, defaults to 50) —
The number of denoising steps. More denoising steps usually lead to a higher quality image at the
expense of slower inference.
float
, optional, defaults to 7.5) —
A higher guidance scale value encourages the model to generate images closely linked to the text
prompt
at the expense of lower image quality. Guidance scale is enabled when guidance_scale > 1
.
float
, optional, defaults to 0.75) —
Chosen between [0, 1.0] for better quality.
str
or List[str]
, optional) —
The prompt or prompts to guide what to not include in image generation. If not defined, you need to
pass negative_prompt_embeds
instead. Ignored when not using guidance (guidance_scale < 1
).
int
, optional, defaults to 1) —
The number of images to generate per prompt.
float
, optional, defaults to 0.0) —
Corresponds to parameter eta (η) from the DDIM paper. Only applies
to the DDIMScheduler, and is ignored in other schedulers.
torch.Generator
or List[torch.Generator]
, optional) —
A torch.Generator
to make
generation deterministic.
torch.FloatTensor
, optional) —
Pre-generated noisy latents sampled from a Gaussian distribution, to be used as inputs for image
generation. Can be used to tweak the same generation with different prompts. If not provided, a latents
tensor is generated by sampling using the supplied random generator
.
torch.FloatTensor

provided, text embeddings are generated from the prompt

Returns

If return_dict

second element is a list of bool

“not-safe-for-work” (nsfw) content.
The call function to the pipeline for generation.
Examples:
>>> import torch
>>> from diffusers import StableDiffusionSAGPipeline
>>> pipe = StableDiffusionSAGPipeline.from_pretrained(
... "runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5", torch_dtype=torch.float16
... )

Disable sliced VAE decoding. If enable_vae_slicing
was previously enabled, this method will go back to
computing decoding in one step.
Enable sliced VAE decoding. When this option is enabled, the VAE will split the input tensor in slices to compute decoding in several steps. This is useful to save some memory and allow larger batch sizes.
