The Superposition of Diffusion Models Using the Itô Density Estimator: Pipeline

This pipeline shows how to superimpose different text prompts from Stable Diffusion v1-4 based the paper The Superposition of Diffusion Models Using the Itô Density Estimator.

Requirements

This pipeline can be run with the following packages & versions:

PyTorch 2.5.1
Diffusers 0.32.1
Accelerate 1.2.1
Transformers 4.47.1

You can install these with:

pip install torch
pip install diffusers accelerate transformers

Example usage

from PIL import Image
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline

pipeline = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("superdiff/superdiff-sd-v1-4", custom_pipeline='pipeline', trust_remote_code=True)
output = pipeline("a flamingo", "a candy cane", seed=1, num_inference_steps=1000, batch_size=1)

image = Image.fromarray(output[0].cpu().numpy())
image.save("superdiff_output.png")

Arguments that can be set by user in pipeline():

prompt_1 [required]: text prompt describing first concept to superimpose (e.g. "a flamingo")
prompt_2[required]: text prompt describing second concept to superimpose (e.g. "a candy cane")
seed[optional: default=None]: seed for random noise generator for reproducibility; for non-deterministic outputs, set to None
num_inference_steps[optional: default=1000]: number of denoising steps (we recommend 1000!)
batch_size [optional: default=1]: batch size
lift [optional: default=0.0]: bias value that favours generation towards one prompt over the other
guidance_scale [optional: default=7.5]: scale for classifier-free guidance
height, width [optional: default=512]: height and width of generated images

To replicate images from Section 4.2 of the paper, you can use the following:

image = pipeline(prompt_1, prompt_2, seed=1, num_inference_steps=1000, batch_size=20, lift=0.0, guidance_scale=7.5)

(Note: the runtime for a batch size of 1 on an NVIDIA A40 GPU is around 3 mins 30 sec.)
