Experiments

Single Prompt Experiments

As a minimal example, our single prompt experiments can be run by the following command

accelerate launch train_t2i.py --expid="single"

We provide our checkpoints in ./ckpts. To evaluate our checkpoints, please use the following command

cd eval_ckpts
torchrun --nproc_per_node $NUM_GPUS_TO_USE --standalone main.py --type="both_seen_unseen" --eval_generated_imgs=1 --metrics="image_reward,aesthetic" --outdir="./outputs"

Note:

$NUM_GPUS_TO_USE is the number of gpus you want to use.
Set --eval_generated_imgs=0 if evaluating the generated images is not needed, i.e. only want to generate images.
Add the flag --return_traj if you want to store the generation trajectory corresponding to each image as well.

Multiple Prompt Experiments

As a minimal example, our multiple prompt experiments can be run by the following command

accelerate launch train_t2i.py --single_flag=0 --expid="multiple"

The above command is a minimal example, please check parse_args.py for available flags.

Declaimer: The HPSv2 train set has not been officially released at this moment. We are currently in the process of consulting with the HPSv2's authors on including those prompts in our repository. For now, we temporarily use the drawbench prompts as a substitution
