Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating images. In one aspect, a method includes: receiving an input text prompt including a sequence of text tokens in a natural language; processing the input text prompt using a text encoder neural network to generate a set of contextual embeddings of the input text prompt; and processing the contextual embeddings through a sequence of generative neural networks to generate a final output image that depicts a scene that is described by the input text prompt.

Generating images using sequences of generative neural networks

A method includes receiving training data comprising a plurality of pairs of images. Each pair comprises a noisy image and a denoised version of the noisy image. The method also includes training a multi-task diffusion model to perform a plurality of image-to-image translation tasks, wherein the training comprises iteratively generating a forward diffusion process by predicting, at each iteration in a sequence of iterations and based on a current noisy estimate of the denoised version of the noisy image, noise data for a next noisy estimate of the denoised version of the noisy image, updating, at each iteration, the current noisy estimate to the next noisy estimate by combining the current noisy estimate with the predicted noise data, and determining a reverse diffusion process by inverting the forward diffusion process to predict the denoised version of the noisy image. The method additionally includes providing the trained diffusion model.

Image-to-image mapping by iterative de-noising

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a text prompt describing a scene; processing the text prompt using a text encoder neural network to generate a contextual embedding of the text prompt; and processing the contextual embedding using a sequence of generative neural networks to generate a final video depicting the scene.

Generating videos using sequences of generative neural networks

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for sequence modeling. One of the methods includes receiving an input sequence having a plurality of input positions; determining a plurality of blocks of consecutive input positions; processing the input sequence using a neural network to generate a latent alignment, comprising, at each of a plurality of input time steps: receiving a partial latent alignment from a previous input time step; selecting an input position in each block, wherein the token at the selected input position of the partial latent alignment in each block is a mask token; and processing the partial latent alignment and the input sequence using the neural network to generate a new latent alignment, wherein the new latent alignment comprises, at the selected input position in each block, an output token or a blank token; and generating, using the latent alignment, an output sequence.

Sequence modeling using imputation

A method includes receiving, by a computing device, training data comprising a plurality of pairs of images, wherein each pair comprises an image and at least one corresponding target version of the image. The method also includes training a neural network based on the training data to predict an enhanced version of an input image, wherein the training of the neural network comprises applying a forward Gaussian diffusion process that adds Gaussian noise to the at least one corresponding target version of each of the plurality of pairs of images to enable iterative denoising of the input image, wherein the iterative denoising is based on a reverse Markov chain associated with the forward Gaussian diffusion process. The method additionally includes outputting the trained neural network.
