Authors: Lvmin Zhang, Maneesh Agrawala
AI-generated Key Points
- Authors Lvmin Zhang and Maneesh Agrawala present a novel neural network structure called ControlNet
- ControlNet can be used to control pretrained large diffusion models to support additional input conditions
- ControlNet is capable of learning task-specific conditions in an end-to-end manner and remains robust even when the training dataset is small (less than 50k)
- Training a ControlNet is as fast as fine-tuning a diffusion model and can be done on personal devices
- Large diffusion models like Stable Diffusion can be augmented with ControlNets to enable conditional inputs such as edge maps, segmentation maps, keypoints, etc.
- This approach enriches methods for controlling large diffusion models and further facilitates related applications
- The authors note that their work has particular relevance for text-to-image generation tasks where it is necessary to condition image generation on specific textual input.
Abstract: We present a neural network structure, ControlNet, to control pretrained large diffusion models to support additional input conditions. The ControlNet learns task-specific conditions in an end-to-end way, and the learning is robust even when the training dataset is small (< 50k). Moreover, training a ControlNet is as fast as fine-tuning a diffusion model, and the model can be trained on a personal devices. Alternatively, if powerful computation clusters are available, the model can scale to large amounts (millions to billions) of data. We report that large diffusion models like Stable Diffusion can be augmented with ControlNets to enable conditional inputs like edge maps, segmentation maps, keypoints, etc. This may enrich the methods to control large diffusion models and further facilitate related applications.
