| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary The recently applied Diffusion Probabilistic Model (DPM) in high-quality Text-to-Image (T2I) generation has been successful, but its underlying mechanism remains unexplored. By examining intermediate statuses during the gradual denoising process, researchers observed that the image shape is reconstructed early on and then filled with details. This phenomenon is attributed to the low-frequency signal of the noisy image not being corrupted until the final stage. The study explores the influence of each token in the text prompt during two stages, concluding that the special token EOS mostly decides the image in the earlier generation stage. After that, the model completes details on its own. The findings propose accelerating T2I generation by removing text guidance, achieving a 25%+ speedup. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary The paper studies how a machine learning model generates images from texts. They found out what happens during this process and why it works in certain ways. The main finding is that the model first creates a rough image shape and then fills it with details. This means that the text prompt has most of its influence at the beginning, and then the model takes over to complete the image. The researchers also discovered how to make the generation process faster by reducing the influence of the text prompt. |
