Self-Attention Diffusion Guidance (ICCV`23)

This is the implementation of the paper Improving Sample Quality of Diffusion Models Using Self-Attention Guidance by Hong et al. To gain insight from our exploration of the self-attention maps of diffusion models and for detailed explanations, please see our Paper and Project Page.

This repository is based on openai/guided-diffusion, and we modified feature extraction code from yandex-research/ddpm-segmentation to get the self-attention maps. The major implementation of our method is in ./guided_diffusion/gaussian_diffusion.py and ./guided_diffusion/unet.py.

All you need is to setup the environment, download existing models, and sample from them using our implementation. Neither further training nor a dataset is needed to apply self-attention guidance!

Downloading Pretrained Diffusion Models (and Classifiers for CG)

Pretrained weights for ImageNet and LSUN can be downloaded from the repository. Download and place them in the ./models/ directory.

Sampling from Pretrained Diffusion Models

You can sample from pretrained diffusion models with self-attention guidance by changing SAG_FLAGS in the following commands. Note that sampling with --guide_scale 1.0 means sampling without self-attention guidance. Below are the 4 examples.
