Alternatives and detailed information of nuwa-pytorch

NÜWA - Pytorch

Implementation of NÜWA, state of the art attention network for text to video synthesis, in Pytorch. It also contain an extension into video and audio generation, using a dual decoder approach.

Status

March 2022 - seeing signs of life with a difficult version of moving mnist
April 2022 - It seems as though a diffusion based method has taken the new throne for SOTA. However, I will continue on with NUWA, extending it to use multi-headed codes + hierarchical causal transformer. I think that direction is untapped for improving on this line of work.

Install

$ pip install nuwa-pytorch

Usage

First train the VAE

import torch
from nuwa_pytorch import VQGanVAE

vae = VQGanVAE(
    dim = 512,
    channels = 3,               # default is 3, but can be changed to any value for the training of the segmentation masks (sketches)
    image_size = 256,           # image size
    num_layers = 4,             # number of downsampling layers
    num_resnet_blocks = 2,      # number of resnet blocks
    vq_codebook_size = 8192,    # codebook size
    vq_decay = 0.8              # codebook exponential decay
)

imgs = torch.randn(10, 3, 256, 256)

# alternate learning for autoencoder ...

loss = vae(imgs, return_loss = True)
loss.backward()

# and the discriminator ...

discr_loss = vae(imgs, return_discr_loss = True)
discr_loss.backward()

# do above for many steps

# return reconstructed images and make sure they look ok

recon_imgs = vae(imgs)

Then, with your learned VAE

import torch
from nuwa_pytorch import NUWA, VQGanVAE

# autoencoder

vae = VQGanVAE(
    dim = 64,
    num_layers = 4,
    image_size = 256,
    num_conv_blocks = 2,
    vq_codebook_size = 8192
)

# NUWA transformer

nuwa = NUWA(
    vae = vae,
    dim = 512,
    text_num_tokens = 20000,                # number of text tokens
    text_enc_depth = 12,                    # text encoder depth
    text_enc_heads = 8,                     # number of attention heads for encoder
    text_max_seq_len = 256,                 # max sequence length of text conditioning tokens (keep at 256 as in paper, or shorter, if your text is not that long)
    max_video_frames = 10,                  # number of video frames
    image_size = 256,                       # size of each frame of video
    dec_depth = 64,                         # video decoder depth
    dec_heads = 8,                          # number of attention heads in decoder
    dec_reversible = True,                  # reversible networks - from reformer, decoupling memory usage from depth
    enc_reversible = True,                  # reversible encoders, if you need it
    attn_dropout = 0.05,                    # dropout for attention
    ff_dropout = 0.05,                      # dropout for feedforward
    sparse_3dna_kernel_size = (5, 3, 3),    # kernel size of the sparse 3dna attention. can be a single value for frame, height, width, or different values (to simulate axial attention, etc)
    sparse_3dna_dilation = (1, 2, 4),       # cycle dilation of 3d conv attention in decoder, for more range
    shift_video_tokens = True               # cheap relative positions for sparse 3dna transformer, by shifting along spatial dimensions by one
).cuda()

# data

text = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 256)).cuda()
video = torch.randn(1, 10, 3, 256, 256).cuda() # (batch, frames, channels, height, width)

loss = nuwa(
    text = text,
    video = video,
    return_loss = True  # set this to True, only for training, to return cross entropy loss
)

loss.backward()

# do above with as much data as possible

# then you can generate a video from text

video = nuwa.generate(text = text, num_frames = 5) # (1, 5, 3, 256, 256)

Conditioning on Sketches

In the paper, they also present a way to condition the video generation based on segmentation mask(s). You can easily do this as well, given you train a VQGanVAE on the sketches before hand.

Then, you will use NUWASketch instead of NUWA, which can accept the sketch VAE as a reference

ex.

import torch
from nuwa_pytorch import NUWASketch, VQGanVAE

# autoencoder, one for main video, the other for the sketch

vae = VQGanVAE(
    dim = 64,
    num_layers = 4,
    image_size = 256,
    num_conv_blocks = 2,
    vq_codebook_size = 8192
)

sketch_vae = VQGanVAE(
    dim = 512,
    channels = 5,                # say the sketch has 5 classes
    num_layers = 4,
    image_size = 256,
    num_conv_blocks = 2,
    vq_codebook_size = 8192
)

# NUWA transformer for conditioning with sketches

nuwa = NUWASketch(
    vae = vae,
    sketch_vae = sketch_vae,
    dim = 512,                              # model dimensions
    sketch_enc_depth = 12,                  # sketch encoder depth
    sketch_enc_heads = 8,                   # number of attention heads for sketch encoder
    sketch_max_video_frames = 3,            # max number of frames for sketches
    sketch_enc_use_sparse_3dna = True,      # whether to use 3d-nearby attention (of full attention if False) for sketch encoding transformer
    max_video_frames = 10,                  # number of video frames
    image_size = 256,                       # size of each frame of video
    dec_depth = 64,                         # video decoder depth
    dec_heads = 8,                          # number of attention heads in decoder
    dec_reversible = True,                  # reversible networks - from reformer, decoupling memory usage from depth
    enc_reversible = True,                  # reversible encoders, if you need it
    attn_dropout = 0.05,                    # dropout for attention
    ff_dropout = 0.05,                      # dropout for feedforward
    sparse_3dna_kernel_size = (5, 3, 3),    # kernel size of the sparse 3dna attention. can be a single value for frame, height, width, or different values (to simulate axial attention, etc)
    sparse_3dna_dilation = (1, 2, 4),       # cycle dilation of 3d conv attention in decoder, for more range
    cross_2dna_kernel_size = 5,             # 2d kernel size of spatial grouping of attention from video frames to sketches
    cross_2dna_dilation = 1,                # 2d dilation of spatial attention from video frames to sketches
    shift_video_tokens = True               # cheap relative positions for sparse 3dna transformer, by shifting along spatial dimensions by one
).cuda()

# data

sketch = torch.randn(2, 2, 5, 256, 256).cuda() # (batch, frames, segmentation classes, height, width)
sketch_mask = torch.ones(2, 2).bool().cuda()   # (batch, frames) [Optional]
video = torch.randn(2, 10, 3, 256, 256).cuda() # (batch, frames, channels, height, width)

loss = nuwa(
    sketch = sketch,
    sketch_mask =sketch_mask,
    video = video,
    return_loss = True  # set this to True, only for training, to return cross entropy loss
)

loss.backward()

# do above with as much data as possible

# then you can generate a video from sketch(es)

video = nuwa.generate(sketch = sketch, num_frames = 5) # (1, 5, 3, 256, 256)

Text to Video and Audio

This repository will also offer a variant of NUWA that can produce both video and audio. For now, the audio will need to be encoded manually.

import torch
from nuwa_pytorch import NUWAVideoAudio, VQGanVAE

# autoencoder

vae = VQGanVAE(
    dim = 64,
    num_layers = 4,
    image_size = 256,
    num_conv_blocks = 2,
    vq_codebook_size = 100
)

# NUWA transformer

nuwa = NUWAVideoAudio(
    vae = vae,
    dim = 512,
    num_audio_tokens = 2048,                # codebook size for audio tokens
    num_audio_tokens_per_video_frame = 32,  # number of audio tokens per video frame
    cross_modality_attn_every = 3,          # cross modality attention every N layers
    text_num_tokens = 20000,                # number of text tokens
    text_enc_depth = 1,                     # text encoder depth
    text_enc_heads = 8,                     # number of attention heads for encoder
    text_max_seq_len = 256,                 # max sequence length of text conditioning tokens (keep at 256 as in paper, or shorter, if your text is not that long)
    max_video_frames = 10,                  # number of video frames
    image_size = 256,                       # size of each frame of video
    dec_depth = 4,                          # video decoder depth
    dec_heads = 8,                          # number of attention heads in decoder
    enc_reversible = True,                  # reversible encoders, if you need it
    dec_reversible = True,                  # quad-branched reversible network, for making depth of twin video / audio decoder independent of network depth. recommended to be turned on unless you have a ton of memory at your disposal
    attn_dropout = 0.05,                    # dropout for attention
    ff_dropout = 0.05,                      # dropout for feedforward
    sparse_3dna_kernel_size = (5, 3, 3),    # kernel size of the sparse 3dna attention. can be a single value for frame, height, width, or different values (to simulate axial attention, etc)
    sparse_3dna_dilation = (1, 2, 4),       # cycle dilation of 3d conv attention in decoder, for more range
    shift_video_tokens = True               # cheap relative positions for sparse 3dna transformer, by shifting along spatial dimensions by one
).cuda()

# data

text = torch.randint(0, 20000, (1, 256)).cuda()
audio = torch.randint(0, 2048, (1, 32 * 10)).cuda() # (batch, audio tokens per frame * max video frames)
video = torch.randn(1, 10, 3, 256, 256).cuda() # (batch, frames, channels, height, width)

loss = nuwa(
    text = text,
    video = video,
    audio = audio,
    return_loss = True  # set this to True, only for training, to return cross entropy loss
)

loss.backward()

# do above with as much data as possible

# then you can generate a video from text

video, audio = nuwa.generate(text = text, num_frames = 5) # (1, 5, 3, 256, 256), (1, 32 * 5 == 160)

Trainers

This library will offer some utilities to make training easier. For starters, you can use the VQGanVAETrainer class to take care of training the VQGanVAE. Simply wrap the model and also pass in the image folder path as well as the various training hyperparameters.

import torch
from nuwa_pytorch import VQGanVAE, VQGanVAETrainer

vae = VQGanVAE(
    dim = 64,
    image_size = 256,
    num_layers = 5,
    vq_codebook_size = 1024,
    vq_use_cosine_sim = True,
    vq_codebook_dim = 32,
    vq_orthogonal_reg_weight = 10,
    vq_orthogonal_reg_max_codes = 128,
).cuda()

trainer = VQGanVAETrainer(
    vae,                           # VAE defined above
    folder ='/path/to/images',     # path to images
    lr = 3e-4,                     # learning rate
    num_train_steps = 100000,      # number of training steps
    batch_size = 8,                # batch size
    grad_accum_every = 4           # gradient accumulation (effective batch size is (batch_size x grad_accum_every))
)

trainer.train()

# results and model checkpoints will be saved periodically to ./results

To train NUWA, first you need to organize a folder of .gif files with corresponding .txt files containing its caption. It should be organized as such.

ex.

📂video-and-text-data
 ┣ 📜cat.gif
 ┣ 📜cat.txt
 ┣ 📜dog.gif
 ┣ 📜dog.txt
 ┣ 📜turtle.gif
 ┗ 📜turtle.txt

Then you will load your previously trained VQGan-VAE and train NUWA with the GifVideoDataset and NUWATrainer classes.

import torch
from nuwa_pytorch import NUWA, VQGanVAE
from nuwa_pytorch.train_nuwa import GifVideoDataset, NUWATrainer

# dataset

ds = GifVideoDataset(
    folder = './path/to/videos/',
    channels = 1
)

# autoencoder

vae = VQGanVAE(
    dim = 64,
    image_size = 256,
    num_layers = 5,
    num_resnet_blocks = 2,
    vq_codebook_size = 512,
    attn_dropout = 0.1
)

vae.load_state_dict(torch.load('./path/to/trained/vae.pt'))

# NUWA transformer

nuwa = NUWA(
    vae = vae,
    dim = 512,
    text_enc_depth = 6,
    text_max_seq_len = 256,
    max_video_frames = 10,
    dec_depth = 12,
    dec_reversible = True,
    enc_reversible = True,
    attn_dropout = 0.05,
    ff_dropout = 0.05,
    sparse_3dna_kernel_size = (5, 3, 3),
    sparse_3dna_dilation = (1, 2, 4),
    shift_video_tokens = True
).cuda()

# data

trainer = NUWATrainer(
    nuwa = nuwa,                 # NUWA transformer
    dataset = dataset,           # video dataset class
    num_train_steps = 1000000,   # number of training steps
    lr = 3e-4,                   # learning rate
    wd = 0.01,                   # weight decay
    batch_size = 8,              # batch size
    grad_accum_every = 4,        # gradient accumulation
    max_grad_norm = 0.5,         # gradient clipping
    num_sampled_frames = 10,     # number of frames to sample
    results_folder = './results' # folder to store checkpoints and samples
)

trainer.train()

VQ improvements

This library depends on this vector quantization library, which comes with a number of improvements (improved vqgan, orthogonal codebook regularization, etc). To use any of these improvements, you can configure the vector quantizer keyword params by prepending vq_ on VQGanVAE initialization.

ex. cosine sim proposed in improved vqgan

from nuwa_pytorch import VQGanVAE

vae = VQGanVAE(
    dim = 64,
    image_size = 256,
    num_layers = 4,
    vq_use_cosine_sim = True
    # VectorQuantize will be initialized with use_cosine_sim = True
    # https://github.com/lucidrains/vector-quantize-pytorch#cosine-similarity
).cuda()
