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
a man painting a completely red image
a psychedelic experience on LSD
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 or AMD GPU
- Recommended: 16GB VRAM
- Minimum Requirements: 4GB VRAM (Using VERY LOW settings, see usage instructions below)
$ pip install deep-daze
Presuming Python is installed:
- Open command prompt and navigate to the directory of your current version of Python
pip install deep-daze$ imagine "a house in the forest"For Windows:
- Open command prompt as administrator
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" --deeperIn 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 32NAME

SYNOPSIS
imagine TEXT <flags>
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
TEXT
(required) A phrase less than 77 tokens which you would like to visualize.
FLAGS
--img=IMAGE_PATH
Default: None
Path to png/jpg image or PIL image to optimize on
--encoding=ENCODING
Default: None
User-created custom CLIP encoding. If used, replaces any text or image that was used.
--create_story=CREATE_STORY
Default: False
Creates a story by optimizing each epoch on a new sliding-window of the input words. If this is enabled, much longer texts than 77 tokens can be used. Requires save_progress to visualize the transitions of the story.
--story_start_words=STORY_START_WORDS
Default: 5
Only used if create_story is True. How many words to optimize on for the first epoch.
--story_words_per_epoch=STORY_WORDS_PER_EPOCH
Default: 5
Only used if create_story is True. How many words to add to the optimization goal per epoch after the first one.
--story_separator:
Default: None
Only used if create_story is True. Defines a separator like '.' that splits the text into groups for each epoch. Separator needs to be in the text otherwise it will be ignored
--lower_bound_cutout=LOWER_BOUND_CUTOUT
Default: 0.1
Lower bound of the sampling of the size of the random cut-out of the SIREN image per batch. Should be smaller than 0.8.
--upper_bound_cutout=UPPER_BOUND_CUTOUT
Default: 1.0
Upper bound of the sampling of the size of the random cut-out of the SIREN image per batch. Should probably stay at 1.0.
--saturate_bound=SATURATE_BOUND
Default: False
If True, the LOWER_BOUND_CUTOUT is linearly increased to 0.75 during training.
--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.
--save_gif=SAVE_GIF
Default: False
Whether or not to save a GIF animation of the generation procedure. Only works if save_progress is set to True.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.jpgPrimed starting image
Then trained with the prompt A pizza with green pepper.
We can also feed in an image as an optimization goal, instead of only priming the generator network. Deepdaze will then render its own interpretation of that image:
$ imagine --img samples/Autumn_1875_Frederic_Edwin_Church.jpgOriginal image:
The network's interpretation:
Original image:
The network's interpretation:
$ imagine "A psychedelic experience." --img samples/hot-dog.jpgThe network's interpretation:
The regular mode for texts only allows 77 tokens. If you want to visualize a full story/paragraph/song/poem, set create_story to True.
Given the poem “Stopping by Woods On a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost - "Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.".
We get:

from deep_daze import Imagine
imagine = Imagine(
text = 'cosmic love and attention',
num_layers = 24,
)
imagine()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
)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,
)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,
)imagine = Imagine(
text=text,
num_layers=24,
batch_size=16,
gradient_accumulate_every=2
)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
)These experiments were conducted with a 2060 Super RTX and a 3700X Ryzen 5. We first mention the parameters (bs = batch size), then the memory usage and in some cases the training iterations per second:
For an image resolution of 512:
- bs 1, num_layers 22: 7.96 GB
- bs 2, num_layers 20: 7.5 GB
- bs 16, num_layers 16: 6.5 GB
For an image resolution of 256:
- bs 8, num_layers 48: 5.3 GB
- bs 16, num_layers 48: 5.46 GB - 2.0 it/s
- bs 32, num_layers 48: 5.92 GB - 1.67 it/s
- bs 8, num_layers 44: 5 GB - 2.39 it/s
- bs 32, num_layers 44, grad_acc 1: 5.62 GB - 4.83 it/s
- bs 96, num_layers 44, grad_acc 1: 7.51 GB - 2.77 it/s
- bs 32, num_layers 66, grad_acc 1: 7.09 GB - 3.7 it/s
@NotNANtoN recommends a batch size of 32 with 44 layers and training 1-8 epochs.
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.
