Latent Consistency Model Multistep Scheduler

Overview

Multistep and onestep scheduler (Algorithm 3) introduced alongside latent consistency models in the paper Latent Consistency Models: Synthesizing High-Resolution Images with Few-Step Inference by Simian Luo, Yiqin Tan, Longbo Huang, Jian Li, and Hang Zhao. This scheduler should be able to generate good samples from LatentConsistencyModelPipeline in 1-8 steps.

mindone.diffusers.LCMScheduler

Bases: SchedulerMixin, ConfigMixin

LCMScheduler extends the denoising procedure introduced in denoising diffusion probabilistic models (DDPMs) with non-Markovian guidance.

This model inherits from [SchedulerMixin] and [ConfigMixin]. [~ConfigMixin] takes care of storing all config attributes that are passed in the scheduler's __init__ function, such as num_train_timesteps. They can be accessed via scheduler.config.num_train_timesteps. [SchedulerMixin] provides general loading and saving functionality via the [SchedulerMixin.save_pretrained] and [~SchedulerMixin.from_pretrained] functions.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
num_train_timesteps

The number of diffusion steps to train the model.

TYPE: `int`, defaults to 1000 DEFAULT: 1000

beta_start

The starting beta value of inference.

TYPE: `float`, defaults to 0.0001 DEFAULT: 0.00085

beta_end

The final beta value.

TYPE: `float`, defaults to 0.02 DEFAULT: 0.012

beta_schedule

The beta schedule, a mapping from a beta range to a sequence of betas for stepping the model. Choose from linear, scaled_linear, or squaredcos_cap_v2.

TYPE: `str`, defaults to `"linear"` DEFAULT: 'scaled_linear'

trained_betas

Pass an array of betas directly to the constructor to bypass beta_start and beta_end.

TYPE: `np.ndarray`, *optional* DEFAULT: None

original_inference_steps

The default number of inference steps used to generate a linearly-spaced timestep schedule, from which we will ultimately take num_inference_steps evenly spaced timesteps to form the final timestep schedule.

TYPE: `int`, *optional*, defaults to 50 DEFAULT: 50

clip_sample

Clip the predicted sample for numerical stability.

TYPE: `bool`, defaults to `True` DEFAULT: False

clip_sample_range

The maximum magnitude for sample clipping. Valid only when clip_sample=True.

TYPE: `float`, defaults to 1.0 DEFAULT: 1.0

set_alpha_to_one

Each diffusion step uses the alphas product value at that step and at the previous one. For the final step there is no previous alpha. When this option is True the previous alpha product is fixed to 1, otherwise it uses the alpha value at step 0.

TYPE: `bool`, defaults to `True` DEFAULT: True

steps_offset

An offset added to the inference steps, as required by some model families.

TYPE: `int`, defaults to 0 DEFAULT: 0

prediction_type

Prediction type of the scheduler function; can be epsilon (predicts the noise of the diffusion process), sample (directly predicts the noisy sample) orv_prediction` (see section 2.4 of Imagen Video paper).

TYPE: `str`, defaults to `epsilon`, *optional* DEFAULT: 'epsilon'

thresholding

Whether to use the "dynamic thresholding" method. This is unsuitable for latent-space diffusion models such as Stable Diffusion.

TYPE: `bool`, defaults to `False` DEFAULT: False

dynamic_thresholding_ratio

The ratio for the dynamic thresholding method. Valid only when thresholding=True.

TYPE: `float`, defaults to 0.995 DEFAULT: 0.995

sample_max_value

The threshold value for dynamic thresholding. Valid only when thresholding=True.

TYPE: `float`, defaults to 1.0 DEFAULT: 1.0

timestep_spacing

The way the timesteps should be scaled. Refer to Table 2 of the Common Diffusion Noise Schedules and Sample Steps are Flawed for more information.

TYPE: `str`, defaults to `"leading"` DEFAULT: 'leading'

timestep_scaling

The factor the timesteps will be multiplied by when calculating the consistency model boundary conditions c_skip and c_out. Increasing this will decrease the approximation error (although the approximation error at the default of 10.0 is already pretty small).

TYPE: `float`, defaults to 10.0 DEFAULT: 10.0

rescale_betas_zero_snr

Whether to rescale the betas to have zero terminal SNR. This enables the model to generate very bright and dark samples instead of limiting it to samples with medium brightness. Loosely related to --offset_noise.

TYPE: `bool`, defaults to `False` DEFAULT: False

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
num_inference_steps

The number of diffusion steps used when generating samples with a pre-trained model. If used, timesteps must be None.

TYPE: `int`, *optional* DEFAULT: None

original_inference_steps

The original number of inference steps, which will be used to generate a linearly-spaced timestep schedule (which is different from the standard diffusers implementation). We will then take num_inference_steps timesteps from this schedule, evenly spaced in terms of indices, and use that as our final timestep schedule. If not set, this will default to the original_inference_steps attribute.

TYPE: `int`, *optional* DEFAULT: None

timesteps

Custom timesteps used to support arbitrary spacing between timesteps. If None, then the default timestep spacing strategy of equal spacing between timesteps on the training/distillation timestep schedule is used. If timesteps is passed, num_inference_steps must be None.
