The proposed Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) technique enhances the quality and condition adherence of text-to-image diffusion models by combining conditional and unconditional predictions with a fixed weight. While previous works have varied weights throughout the diffusion process, reporting superior results without providing rationale or analysis, this paper provides insights into CFG weight schedulers through comprehensive experiments. The findings suggest that simple, monotonically increasing weight schedulers consistently lead to improved performances, requiring only a single line of code. Additionally, more complex parametrized schedulers can be optimized for further improvement, but do not generalize across different models and tasks.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
CFG is a technique that helps text-to-image diffusion models produce better results by combining two types of predictions with a fixed weight. The paper looks at how different schedules work when changing this weight over time. It finds that simple, gradual changes in the weight are the best way to get good results, and only need one line of code. More complex ways of changing the weight can also improve results, but may not work well for all types of models or tasks.
