ERNIE-ViLG 2.0: The new text-to-image model from Baidu outperforms Dalle-2 and Stable Diffusion
In Brief
Both Dalle-2 and Stable Diffusion were significantly outperformed by ERNIE-ViLG 2.0
ERNIE-ViLG 2.0 is a text-to-image model that offers better performance than Dalle-2 and Stable Diffusion, two of the most popular text-to-image models currently available. The new model was designed and trained by a team of researchers from Baidu, and the outcomes are breathtaking.
The outcomes demonstrated that ERNIE-ViLG 2.0 significantly outperformed Dalle-2 and Stable Diffusion. This is a significant achievement and demonstrates the power of the ERNIE framework. The Metaverse Post team compared ERNIE-ViLG 2.0 with Stable Diffusion below:
These results provide strong support for the hypothesis that ERNIE-ViLG 2.0 is a more effective text-to-image system than both Dalle-2 and Stable Diffusion.
The Unet architecture from Stable Diffusion is taken as a basis, but with changes:
- A Mixture of Denoising Experts: There are 10 neural networks instead of just one, with each being responsible only for certain diffusion steps.
- Textual knowledge: Automatically reweighted the words in the query so that keywords get more weight.
- Visual knowledge: During training, objects were detected on intermediate generation results, and the weight of the loss function on regions with objects was increased.
As a result, the world’s largest text-to-image model came out with 24 billion parameters (10 times bigger than SD) to train the model.
In comparison to earlier models, ERNIE-ViLG 2.0 greatly exceeds them in terms of image quality and image-to-text matching when tested simultaneously on the ViLG-300 bilingual prompt set by a person.
Prompts are simply translated from Chinese to English automatically in the HuggingFace public demo before being sent into the AI. A lot of features flow from this.
- ERNIE does not know international public figures. For instance, ERNIE doesn’t know Arnold Schwarzenegger. It certainly has local favorites in China.
- As a result, the method of using celebrity names in prompts to dramatically boost the quality of faces fails.
- You can expect some distortion because of the translation from Chinese, so there might be some surprises in store for you if you don’t speak Chinese.
- It doesn’t even know anything about Greg Rutkowski.
