Fine settings

Last updated
Fine tuning settings may not have a huge effect on the output, and are mostly used for specific uses.
For most where default is None
it is often fine to not modify it and keep it None
optimiser
Default:
Adam
Gradient descend optimizer, effects minimal. For now only effects vqgan. All others defaults to Adam. Seems unimportant to output.
batches
Default:
1
The number of batches specifies how many iterations of accumulation of gradients would be needed before the image is altered one step. Think of it the same as in SGD. It can also be increased in conjunction with reducing num_cuts
to reduce VRAM needed for image generation.
num_cuts
Default:
None
num_cuts
specifies the number of "cutouts" that the algorithm feeds into CLIP. A "cutout" is like image augmentation, and allows CLIP to see the image in differing zoom levels, perspectives, and so on. This is much like image augmentation for NN training - the more images, the better the grasp of the model. @robinsloan has a good write up here
size
Default:
None
Size specifies the width * height of the image.
Usage:
Python
Command line
clip_models
Default:
None
clip_models
specify what CLIP pretrained models are used to optimize image generation. These models can be one of ['RN50', 'RN101', 'RN50x4', 'RN50x16', 'ViT-B/32', 'ViT-B/16'], where RN means the resNet architecture with 50 layers, and ViT means visual transformers. If using only one (typically with quality=better
or quality=best
there will be 3-4), it can save on VRAM usage, but with potential sacrifice to final output quality.
Usage:
Python
Command line
noise_prompt_seeds
and noise_prompt_weights
Default:
None
andNone
When both is not none, for every batch in an iteration, there will be a small random noise placed in the loss (and gradient). This is done by creating a prompt that only generates noise for every output. This may be used to allow the model to make some risk or change, or to be able to escape local minima. This is all just speculation, however.
Note that if one of them is shorter, it will silently reduce the total length of the shorter one; If one is None
, noise prompts would not be active at all.
The effects are unclear at the moment.
Usage:
Python
Command line
init_noise
Default:
pixels
init_noise
can be one of pixels
, gradient
, snow
, none
. Note that none
cannot be used without a init_image
, see more in Image control settings
learning_rate
, learning_rate_drops
, and auto_stop
Default:
0.2
,[75]
, andFalse
The learning rate determines how big a step the model should take, but may cause unstable/more jittery images. learning_rate_drops
is a list of percentage amounts that learning rate should drop, a drop means a division by 10. For example, the default is [75]
, meaning that at 75% iterations, the lr would divide by 10.
