Deep Daze
mist over green hills
shattered plates on the grass
cosmic love and attention
a time traveler in the crowd
life during the plague
meditative peace in a sunlit forest
What is this?
Simple command line tool for text to image generation using OpenAI's CLIP and Siren. Credit goes to Ryan Murdock for the discovery of this technique (and for coming up with the great name)!
Original notebook
New simplified notebook
This will require that you have an Nvidia GPU
Install
$ pip install deep-daze
Examples
$ imagine "a house in the forest"
That's it.
If you have enough memory, you can get better quality by adding a --deeper flag
$ imagine "shattered plates on the ground" --deeper
Advanced
In true deep learning fashion, more layers will yield better results. Default is at 16, but can be increased to 32 depending on your resources.
$ imagine "stranger in strange lands" --num-layers 32
Usage
CLI
NAME
imagine
SYNOPSIS
imagine TEXT <flags>
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
TEXT
(required) A phrase less than 77 characters which you would like to visualize.
FLAGS
--learning_rate=LEARNING_RATE
Default: 1e-05
The learning rate of the neural net.
--num_layers=NUM_LAYERS
Default: 16
The number of hidden layers to use in the Siren neural net.
--batch_size=BATCH_SIZE
Default: 4
The number of generated images to pass into Siren before calculating loss. Decreasing this can lower memory and accuracy.
--gradient_accumulate_every=GRADIENT_ACCUMULATE_EVERY
Default: 4
Calculate a weighted loss of n samples for each iteration. Increasing this can help increase accuracy with lower batch sizes.
--epochs=EPOCHS
Default: 20
The number of epochs to run.
--iterations=ITERATIONS
Default: 1050
The number of times to calculate and backpropagate loss in a given epoch.
--save_every=SAVE_EVERY
Default: 100
Generate an image every time iterations is a multiple of this number.
--image_width=IMAGE_WIDTH
Default: 512
The desired resolution of the image.
--deeper=DEEPER
Default: False
Uses a Siren neural net with 32 hidden layers.
--overwrite=OVERWRITE
Default: False
Whether or not to overwrite existing generated images of the same name.
--save_progress=SAVE_PROGRESS
Default: False
Whether or not to save images generated before training Siren is complete.
--seed=SEED
Type: Optional[]
Default: None
A seed to be used for deterministic runs.
--open_folder=OPEN_FOLDER
Default: True
Whether or not to open a folder showing your generated images.
--save_date_time=SAVE_DATE_TIME
Default: False
Save files with a timestamp prepended e.g. `%y%m%d-%H%M%S-my_phrase_here`
--start_image_path=START_IMAGE_PATH
Default: None
The generator is trained first on a starting image before steered towards the textual input
--start_image_train_iters=START_IMAGE_TRAIN_ITERS
Default: 50
The number of steps for the initial training on the starting image
--theta_initial=THETA_INITIAL
Default: 30.0
Hyperparameter describing the frequency of the color space. Only applies to the first layer of the network.
--theta_hidden=THETA_INITIAL
Default: 30.0
Hyperparameter describing the frequency of the color space. Only applies to the hidden layers of the network.
Priming
Technique first devised and shared by Mario Klingemann, it allows you to prime the generator network with a starting image, before being steered towards the text.
Simply specify the path to the image you wish to use, and optionally the number of initial training steps.
$ imagine 'a clear night sky filled with stars' --start-image-path ./cloudy-night-sky.jpg
Primed starting image
Then trained with the prompt A pizza with green peppers
Python
Invoke deep_daze.Imagine in Python
from deep_daze import Imagine
imagine = Imagine(
text = 'cosmic love and attention',
num_layers = 24,
)
imagine()
Save progress every fourth iteration
Save images in the format insert_text_here.00001.png, insert_text_here.00002.png, ...up to (total_iterations % save_every)
imagine = Imagine(
text=text,
save_every=4,
save_progress=True
)
Prepend current timestamp on each image.
Creates files with both the timestamp and the sequence number.
e.g. 210129-043928_328751_insert_text_here.00001.png, 210129-043928_512351_insert_text_here.00002.png, ...
imagine = Imagine(
text=text,
save_every=4,
save_progress=True,
save_date_time=True,
)
High GPU memory usage
If you have at least 16 GiB of vram available, you should be able to run these settings with some wiggle room.
imagine = Imagine(
text=text,
num_layers=42,
batch_size=64,
gradient_accumulate_every=1,
)
Average GPU memory usage
imagine = Imagine(
text=text,
num_layers=24,
batch_size=16,
gradient_accumulate_every=2
)
Very low GPU memory usage (less than 4 GiB)
If you are desperate to run this on a card with less than 8 GiB vram, you can lower the image_width.
imagine = Imagine(
text=text,
image_width=256,
num_layers=16,
batch_size=1,
gradient_accumulate_every=16 # Increase gradient_accumulate_every to correct for loss in low batch sizes
)
Where is this going?
This is just a teaser. We will be able to generate images, sound, anything at will, with natural language. The holodeck is about to become real in our lifetimes.
Please join replication efforts for DALL-E for Pytorch or Mesh Tensorflow if you are interested in furthering this technology.

Add "A psychedelic experience" as text to img:
Adding the text "A dog in a hotdog costume" to the image does not work too nicely:
