I'm long overdue for a social media update, so here it goes. I moved out of DC to the Hudson Valley and I've been freelancing, continuing to enjoy making graphics and tools, designing, coding, and a lot of mapping. I'm about 2 hours north of New York City

A powerful way to think about user interfaces is as them being bases of a latent space manifold. There is a nascent niche of interesting experiments exploring these and I will try to curate some of these that came into my notice in this thread.

What will happen when those diffusion models hit our phones and our personal photos are not genuine anymore? "make me look like last summer", "remove grandma from the picture" or "add person x to the group". Also: what crazy compression level will be achieved ?

FLUX that Plays Music paper page: huggingface.co/papers/2409.0… This paper explores a simple extension of diffusion-based rectified flow Transformers for text-to-music generation, termed as FluxMusic. Generally, along with design in advanced Fluxhttps://github.com/black-forest-labs/flux model, we transfers it into a latent VAE space of mel-spectrum. It involves first applying a sequence of independent attention to the double text-music stream, followed by a stacked single music stream for denoised patch prediction. We employ multiple pre-trained text encoders to sufficiently capture caption semantic information as well as inference flexibility. In between, coarse textual information, in conjunction with time step embeddings, is utilized in a modulation mechanism, while fine-grained textual details are concatenated with the music patch sequence as inputs. Through an in-depth study, we demonstrate that rectified flow training with an optimized architecture significantly outperforms established diffusion methods for the text-to-music task, as evidenced by various automatic metrics and human preference evaluations.

Project #2: LLM Visualization So I created a web-page to visualize a small LLM, of the sort that's behind ChatGPT. Rendered in 3D, it shows all the steps to run a single token inference. (link in bio)

Circled back to my favourite open source image dataset #OpenMoji. This time I trained #stablediffusion on @OpenMoji to create some new emojis.

MagicBrush: A Manually Annotated Dataset for Instruction-Guided Image Editing paper page: huggingface.co/papers/2306.1… Text-guided image editing is widely needed in daily life, ranging from personal use to professional applications such as Photoshop. However, existing methods are either zero-shot or trained on an automatically synthesized dataset, which contains a high volume of noise. Thus, they still require lots of manual tuning to produce desirable outcomes in practice. To address this issue, we introduce MagicBrush (osu-nlp-group.github.io/Magi…), the first large-scale, manually annotated dataset for instruction-guided real image editing that covers diverse scenarios: single-turn, multi-turn, mask-provided, and mask-free editing. MagicBrush comprises over 10K manually annotated triples (source image, instruction, target image), which supports trainining large-scale text-guided image editing models. We fine-tune InstructPix2Pix on MagicBrush and show that the new model can produce much better images according to human evaluation. We further conduct extensive experiments to evaluate current image editing baselines from multiple dimensions including quantitative, qualitative, and human evaluations. The results reveal the challenging nature of our dataset and the gap between current baselines and real-world editing needs.
