Diffusion models have recently been shown to produce higher quality images than GANs while also offering better diversity and being easier to scale and train. Specifically, a 2021 paper by OpenAI demonstrated that a diffusion model achieved an FID score of 2.97 on ImageNet 128x128, beating the previous state-of-the-art held by BigGAN. Diffusion models work by gradually adding noise to images in a forward process and then learning to remove noise in a backward denoising process, allowing them to generate diverse, high fidelity images.

Diffusion models beat gans on image synthesis

Likelihood based models
Generative models whose objective function is log-likelihood.
Examples: Autoregressive models, VAE, Diffusion Models, etc
GANs use sample quality metrics such as FID, Inception Score and Precision
some of these metrics do not fully capture diversity.
Negative Log Likelihood does otherwise

GAN vs Likelihood-base models
● GANs capture less diversity than state-of-the-art likelihood-based models
○ Ali Razavi, Aaron van den Oord, and Oriol Vinyals. Generating diverse high-fidelity images
with VQ-VAE-2. arXiv:1906.00446, 2019.
○ Alex Nichol and Prafulla Dhariwal. Improved denoising diffusion probabilistic models.
arXiv:2102.09672, 2021.
○ Charlie Nash, Jacob Menick, Sander Dieleman, and Peter W. Battaglia. Generating images
with sparse representations. arXiv:2103.03841, 2021.
● GANs are often difficult to train, collapsing without carefully selected
hyperparameters and regularizers
● Thus, make them difficult to scale and apply to new domains.

GAN vs Likelihood-base models
● Pros:
○ these models capture more diversity
○ typically easier to scale and train than GANs
● Cons:
○ they still fall short in terms of visual sample quality
○ except for VAEs, sampling from these models is slower than GANs

Diffusion Model
Diffusion models are a class of likelihood-based models which have recently been
shown to produce high-quality images while offering desirable properties such as
distribution coverage, a stationary training objective, and easy scalability.
This paper:
● achieve an FID of 2.97 on ImageNet 128×128 (May 2020)
● Beats previous record holder BigGAN-deep with FID of 5.7 (2018)
“We hypothesize that the gap between diffusion models and GANs stems from at
least two factors: first, that the model architectures used by recent GAN literature
have been heavily explored and refined; second, that GANs are able to trade off
diversity for quality, producing high quality samples but not covering the whole
distribution.”

Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models
Probabilistic Models: learns some probability Distribution (PD)
Diffusion: gradually diffusing/adding noise to input image (Forward process)
Denoising: removing the noise to synthesis realistic image (Backward process)

Intuition
Forward: q(xt|xt-1)
Backward: pθ(xt-1|xt )

Deep learning - A Visual Introduction

Lukas Masuch

It’s long ago, approx. 30 years, since AI was not only a topic for Science-Fiction writers, but also a major research field surrounded with huge hopes and investments. But the over-inflated expectations ended in a subsequent crash and followed by a period of absent funding and interest – the so-called AI winter. However, the last 3 years changed everything – again. Deep learning, a machine learning technique inspired by the human brain, successfully crushed one benchmark after another and tech companies, like Google, Facebook and Microsoft, started to invest billions in AI research. “The pace of progress in artificial general intelligence is incredible fast” (Elon Musk – CEO Tesla & SpaceX) leading to an AI that “would be either the best or the worst thing ever to happen to humanity” (Stephen Hawking – Physicist). What sparked this new Hype? How is Deep Learning different from previous approaches? Are the advancing AI technologies really a threat for humanity? Let’s look behind the curtain and unravel the reality. This talk will explore why Sundar Pichai (CEO Google) recently announced that “machine learning is a core transformative way by which Google is rethinking everything they are doing” and explain why "Deep Learning is probably one of the most exciting things that is happening in the computer industry” (Jen-Hsun Huang – CEO NVIDIA). Either a new AI “winter is coming” (Ned Stark – House Stark) or this new wave of innovation might turn out as the “last invention humans ever need to make” (Nick Bostrom – AI Philosoph). Or maybe it’s just another great technology helping humans to achieve more.

Attention is All You Need (Transformer)

Jeong-Gwan Lee

The document summarizes the Transformer neural network model proposed in the paper "Attention is All You Need". The Transformer uses self-attention mechanisms rather than recurrent or convolutional layers. It achieves state-of-the-art results in machine translation by allowing the model to jointly attend to information from different representation subspaces. The key components of the Transformer include multi-head self-attention layers in the encoder and masked multi-head self-attention layers in the decoder. Self-attention allows the model to learn long-range dependencies in sequence data more effectively than RNNs.

The presentation will include introductions to deep learning and how it differs from traditional machine learning by learning feature representations from data. It will cover the history of neural networks and breakthroughs that enabled training of deeper models. Convolutional neural network architectures will be overviewed, including convolutional, pooling, and dense layers. Applications like recommendation systems, natural language processing, and computer vision will also be discussed. There will be a question and answer section.

PR-355: Masked Autoencoders Are Scalable Vision Learners

Jinwon Lee

- Masked Autoencoders Are Scalable Vision Learners presents a new self-supervised learning method called Masked Autoencoder (MAE) for computer vision. - MAE works by masking random patches of input images, encoding the visible patches, and decoding to reconstruct the full image. This forces the model to learn visual representations from incomplete views of images. - Experiments on ImageNet show that MAE achieves superior results compared to supervised pre-training from scratch as well as other self-supervised methods, scaling effectively to larger models. MAE representations also transfer well to downstream tasks like object detection, instance segmentation and semantic segmentation.

Transformers in Vision: From Zero to Hero

Bill Liu

Attention Is All You Need. With these simple words, the Deep Learning industry was forever changed. Transformers were initially introduced in the field of Natural Language Processing to enhance language translation, but they demonstrated astonishing results even outside language processing. In particular, they recently spread in the Computer Vision community, advancing the state-of-the-art on many vision tasks. But what are Transformers? What is the mechanism of self-attention, and do we really need it? How did they revolutionize Computer Vision? Will they ever replace convolutional neural networks? These and many other questions will be answered during the talk. In this tech talk, we will discuss: - A piece of history: Why did we need a new architecture? - What is self-attention, and where does this concept come from? - The Transformer architecture and its mechanisms - Vision Transformers: An Image is worth 16x16 words - Video Understanding using Transformers: the space + time approach - The scale and data problem: Is Attention what we really need? - The future of Computer Vision through Transformers Speaker: Davide Coccomini, Nicola Messina Website: https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2021101110

PROGRESSIVE GROWING OF GAN S FOR I MPROVED QUALITY , STABILITY , AND VARIATION

Willy Marroquin (WillyDevNET)

We describe a new training methodology for generative adversarial networks. The key idea is to grow both the generator and discriminator progressively: starting from a low resolution, we add new layers that model increasingly fine details as training progresses. This both speeds the training up and greatly stabilizes it, allowing us to produce images of unprecedented quality, e.g., CELEBA images at 1024 We also propose a simple way to increase the variation in generated images, and achieve a record inception score of 8 . 80 in unsupervised CIFAR10. Additionally, we describe several implementation details that are important for discouraging unhealthy competition between the generator and discriminator. Fi- nally, we suggest a new metric for evaluating GAN results, both in terms of image quality and variation. As an additional contribution, we construct a higher-quality version of the CELEBA datase ages, and achieve a record inception score of 8 . 80 in unsupervised CIFAR10. Additionally, we describe several implementation details that are important for discouraging unhealthy competition between the generator and discriminator.

Deep Generative Modelling

Petko Nikolov

This document provides an overview of deep generative models for images. It discusses generative adversarial networks (GANs) which define generative modeling as an adversarial game between a generator and discriminator. Conditional GANs can generate images from text or translate between image domains. Variational autoencoders (VAEs) learn latent representations of the data. Fully convolutional models use transposed convolutions in the decoder. CycleGAN can perform unpaired image-to-image translation using cycle consistency losses. Overall, generative models aim to understand data distributions in order to generate new, realistic samples.

YashBhatnagar30

The document presents research on out-of-distribution detection for AI models. It discusses how most AI models are overconfident and not robust when facing out-of-distribution data. Several discriminative and generative approaches for out-of-distribution detection are surveyed from literature, including likelihood ratios, softmax scores, and conformal prediction. Experiments on a document classification task find that a likelihood-based approach performs best at distinguishing in-distribution documents from out-of-distribution ones like images, with a high true positive rate and low false positive rate. Future work to improve industrialization of the model is discussed.

Paris Women in Machine Learning and Data Science

Abstract: Generative models, and in particular adversarial ones, are becoming prevalent in computer vision as they enable enhancing artistic creation, inspire designers, prove usefulness in semi-supervised learning or robotics applications. We will see how to develop the abilities of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to deviate from training examples to generate more original images of fashion designs. As a limitation of GANs is the production of raw images of low resolution, we also present solutions to produce vectorized results, and show how the developed method may be useful for image editing.

ADVANCED SINGLE IMAGE RESOLUTION UPSURGING USING A GENERATIVE ADVERSARIAL NET...

sipij

The resolution of an image is a very important criterion for evaluating the quality of the image. Higher resolution of image is always preferable as images of lower resolution are unsuitable due to fuzzy quality. Higher resolution of image is important for various fields such as medical imaging; astronomy works and so on as images of lower resolution becomes unclear and indistinct when their sizes are enlarged. In recent times, various research works are performed to generate higher resolution of an image from its lower resolution. In this paper, we have proposed a technique of generating higher resolution images form lower resolution using Residual in Residual Dense Block network architecture with a deep network. We have also compared our method with other methods to prove that our method provides better visual quality images.

Deep Semi-supervised Learning methods

Princy Joy

Deep semi-supervised learning (DSSL) uses a small amount of labeled data along with a large amount of unlabeled data. It works by using the labeled data to initially train a model, which is then used to label the unlabeled data, effectively increasing the training data. This document categorizes and describes various DSSL methods including generative models like GANs and VAEs, consistency regularization, graph-based methods using graphs and GNNs, pseudo-labeling using self-training or disagreement, and hybrid methods. Challenges include not fully understanding how DSSL works and potential performance issues with imbalanced or unrealistic data distributions.

The Success of Deep Generative Models

inside-BigData.com

The document discusses deep generative models and their success. It explains that generative adversarial networks (GANs) and variational autoencoders (VAEs) are the two main approaches for generative modeling. GANs use a game-theoretic framework to train a generator network to produce realistic samples, while VAEs combine a generator with an encoder to maximize a variational lower bound on the data likelihood. The document outlines applications of generative models across many domains, including image generation, reinforcement learning, audio generation, and more. It concludes that generative modeling is key to achieving artificial intelligence and that future work includes improving generative models for video, better priors and decoders, and geometric methods.

Breast cancer is a widespread disease and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. It is triggered by the growth of malignant tumors from breast cells. Unfortunately, medical professionals may sometimes confuse noncancerous benign tumors with malignant ones, leading to incorrect diagnoses. To address this issue, the use of computer-aided detection (CAD) systems has been proposed. These systems use machine learning algorithms to deliver accurate diagnoses, which can assist in detecting breast cancer at an early stage, thereby increasing the chances of survival through prompt treatment. Despite numerous attempts to solve the problem using classical methodologies, the accuracy of these methods has been limited. Additionally, the development of machine learning techniques for this purpose has also been limited by various limitations and has not provided the desired level of prediction accuracy. To overcome these limitations, this research aims to develop an improved deep learning model that will be able to detect breast cancer with a higher degree of accuracy. The use of deep learning algorithms is expected to result in a more accurate diagnosis, thereby increasing the chances of early detection and prompt treatment. With the success of this research, it is expected that the survival rate for breast cancer patients will improve. The UCI Breast Cancer Wisconsin (Prognostic) Dataset will be used to train the model and evaluated using the F1 score, precision and recalls.

Face Anti Spoofing

ssuser17040e

The document proposes a novel domain adaptation method called cyclically disentangled feature translation network (CDFTN) for face anti-spoofing. CDFTN aims to generate pseudo-labeled samples that possess source domain-invariant liveness features and target domain-specific content features, which are disentangled through domain adversarial training. A robust classifier is then trained on the synthetic pseudo-labeled images under the supervision of source domain labels to improve generalization to the target domain. The method is extended to leverage multiple unlabeled target domains by allowing cross-domain transfer of domain-invariant liveness features.

What Not to Document and Why_ (North Bay Python 2024)

Margaret Fero

We’re hopefully all on board with writing documentation for our projects. However, especially with the rise of supply-chain attacks, there are some aspects of our projects that we really shouldn’t document, and should instead remediate as vulnerabilities. If we do document these aspects of a project, it may help someone compromise the project itself or our users. In this talk, you will learn why some aspects of documentation may help attackers more than users, how to recognize those aspects in your own projects, and what to do when you encounter such an issue. These are slides as presented at North Bay Python 2024, with one minor modification to add the URL of a tweet screenshotted in the presentation.

Observability For You and Me with OpenTelemetry

Eric D. Schabell

Are you interested in dipping your toes in the cloud native observability waters, but as an engineer you are not sure where to get started with tracing problems through your microservices and application landscapes on Kubernetes? Then this is the session for you, where we take you on your first steps in an active open-source project that offers a buffet of languages, challenges, and opportunities for getting started with telemetry data. The project is called openTelemetry, but before diving into the specifics, we’ll start with de-mystifying key concepts and terms such as observability, telemetry, instrumentation, cardinality, percentile to lay a foundation. After understanding the nuts and bolts of observability and distributed traces, we’ll explore the openTelemetry community; its Special Interest Groups (SIGs), repositories, and how to become not only an end-user, but possibly a contributor.We will wrap up with an overview of the components in this project, such as the Collector, the OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP), its APIs, and its SDKs. Attendees will leave with an understanding of key observability concepts, become grounded in distributed tracing terminology, be aware of the components of openTelemetry, and know how to take their first steps to an open-source contribution! Key Takeaways: Open source, vendor neutral instrumentation is an exciting new reality as the industry standardizes on openTelemetry for observability. OpenTelemetry is on a mission to enable effective observability by making high-quality, portable telemetry ubiquitous. The world of observability and monitoring today has a steep learning curve and in order to achieve ubiquity, the project would benefit from growing our contributor community.

Chris Swan

Have you noticed the OpenSSF Scorecard badges on the official Dart and Flutter repos? It's Google's way of showing that they care about security. Practices such as pinning dependencies, branch protection, required reviews, continuous integration tests etc. are measured to provide a score and accompanying badge. You can do the same for your projects, and this presentation will show you how, with an emphasis on the unique challenges that come up when working with Dart and Flutter. The session will provide a walkthrough of the steps involved in securing a first repository, and then what it takes to repeat that process across an organization with multiple repos. It will also look at the ongoing maintenance involved once scorecards have been implemented, and how aspects of that maintenance can be better automated to minimize toil.

Interaction Latency: Square's User-Centric Mobile Performance Metric

ScyllaDB

Mobile performance metrics often take inspiration from the backend world and measure resource usage (CPU usage, memory usage, etc) and workload durations (how long a piece of code takes to run). However, mobile apps are used by humans and the app performance directly impacts their experience, so we should primarily track user-centric mobile performance metrics. Following the lead of tech giants, the mobile industry at large is now adopting the tracking of app launch time and smoothness (jank during motion). At Square, our customers spend most of their time in the app long after it's launched, and they don't scroll much, so app launch time and smoothness aren't critical metrics. What should we track instead? This talk will introduce you to Interaction Latency, a user-centric mobile performance metric inspired from the Web Vital metric Interaction to Next Paint"" (web.dev/inp). We'll go over why apps need to track this, how to properly implement its tracking (it's tricky!), how to aggregate this metric and what thresholds you should target.

Diffusion models beat gans on image synthesis

1. Diffusion Models Beat GANs on Image Synthesis OpenAI Presented by: Beeren Sahu

4. Likelihood based models Generative models whose objective function is log-likelihood. Examples: Autoregressive models, VAE, Diffusion Models, etc GANs use sample quality metrics such as FID, Inception Score and Precision some of these metrics do not fully capture diversity. Negative Log Likelihood does otherwise

5. GAN vs Likelihood-base models ● GANs capture less diversity than state-of-the-art likelihood-based models ○ Ali Razavi, Aaron van den Oord, and Oriol Vinyals. Generating diverse high-fidelity images with VQ-VAE-2. arXiv:1906.00446, 2019. ○ Alex Nichol and Prafulla Dhariwal. Improved denoising diffusion probabilistic models. arXiv:2102.09672, 2021. ○ Charlie Nash, Jacob Menick, Sander Dieleman, and Peter W. Battaglia. Generating images with sparse representations. arXiv:2103.03841, 2021. ● GANs are often difficult to train, collapsing without carefully selected hyperparameters and regularizers ● Thus, make them difficult to scale and apply to new domains.

6. GAN vs Likelihood-base models ● Pros: ○ these models capture more diversity ○ typically easier to scale and train than GANs ● Cons: ○ they still fall short in terms of visual sample quality ○ except for VAEs, sampling from these models is slower than GANs

7. Diffusion Model Diffusion models are a class of likelihood-based models which have recently been shown to produce high-quality images while offering desirable properties such as distribution coverage, a stationary training objective, and easy scalability. This paper: ● achieve an FID of 2.97 on ImageNet 128×128 (May 2020) ● Beats previous record holder BigGAN-deep with FID of 5.7 (2018) “We hypothesize that the gap between diffusion models and GANs stems from at least two factors: first, that the model architectures used by recent GAN literature have been heavily explored and refined; second, that GANs are able to trade off diversity for quality, producing high quality samples but not covering the whole distribution.”
