What is ncsnpp-ffhq-256?
NCSNPP-FFHQ-256 is a state-of-the-art score-based generative model that uses Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs) to transform noise into high-quality images. Developed by Google, this model represents a significant advancement in generative modeling by implementing a novel approach that smoothly transforms complex data distributions into known prior distributions through controlled noise injection and removal.
Implementation Details
The model employs a sophisticated SDE framework that consists of two main components: a forward process that adds noise to data, and a reverse-time SDE that reconstructs data by gradually removing noise. It utilizes a predictor-corrector framework to minimize errors in the reverse-time SDE evolution and introduces an equivalent neural ODE for exact likelihood computation.
