take a moment and think about how
complicated the task of text to video
generation really is to produce a
coherent video the neural network needs
to understand the input prompt know how
the world Works how objects move across
space how physics happens and then
produce a sequence of frames that are
both spatially temporally and logically
sensible despite all of these challenges
today's diffusion neural networks are
still getting quite good at it in this
episode of neural breakdown we will
learn how modern diffusion models
generate video from text let's
go before talking about text to video it
is critical to understand how text to
image diffusion models work I have an
entire video dedicated to this very
topic where I implemented a human face
generator from scratch so go check that
out for a longer explanation but here
I'll do a one minute version of what
diffusion is all about you see all image
generation AI models have one goal input
random noise and a prompt and output and
image conditioned on your input prompt V
Gans and yes diffusion as well all
basically employ different algorithms to
achieve this same task the key idea
behind diffusion models is to use neural
networks to gradually denoise the input
noise over several time steps to
ultimately produce a coherent clear
image during training we start with real
images and progressively add noise to it
in small steps this is called forward
diffusion this generates a lot of
samples of clear image and their
slightly noisier variations the neural
network is basically trained to reverse
this process at each time step by
inputting these noisy images and predict
how much noise to remove to retrieve the
clearer version so when generating new
images we input a fully noisy image and
we repeatedly apply this denoising
process and gradually reveal a clearer
image and what is even more fun is that
we can make this entire denoising
Network condition on external signals
like text as well conditional diffusion
models allow us to guide the generation
process towards specific outcomes using
attention layers between your input text
description and the noise removal
process now in theory the same
principles of image generation should
extend to video generation as well right
because a video is just an image but
with the added complexity of a temporal
Dimension it might sound simple but the
task of video generation is quite
complicated it introduces way more
challenges for example there's the
challenge of maintaining the temporal
consistency ensuring that the objects
and the background and all the Motions
they all remain coherent as a video
progresses so even if you generate
frames that are all great to look at
they also have to make sense as part of
a sequence second there's also a massive
increase in computational demands models
simply need to generate way more than
just a single frame around 2 12 to 16
frames for 1 second of video thirdly
with text to image models we have easy
access to large high quality corpuses of
paired image to Text data sets but
there's a lack of suchar diversity and
high quality video to Text data sets
because of the lack of high quality data
sets text to video cannot rely just on
supervised training and that is why
people usually also combine two more
data sources to train video diffusion
models one pair image text data which is
much more readily available and two
unlabeled video data which are extremely
available and contains lots of
information about how our world works
for example one of the pioneer papers in
this space is the video diffusion model
paper from 2022 that introduce us to vdm
vdm is jointly trained on both image and
video data vdm replaces the 2D units
from image diffusion models with 3D unit
models the video is input into the model
as a Time sequence of 2D frames the 3D
unit model consists of factorized spao
temporal convolution layers okay so
that's a lot of words let me simplify
each concept spao as you may have
guessed is short for spatial referring
to the processing of visual information
within individual frames temporal refers
to the processing across different
frames in time capturing the motion and
changes between frames now here's a
catch processing all that 3D data using
something like say a 3D convolution
network is computationally very
expensive
so they got clever the term factorized
basically means that the spatial and
temporal layers are decoupled and
processed separately from each other
this makes the computations much more
efficient finally what is unit unit is a
unique computer vision neural network
that first downsamples the video or
images through a series of this
factorized spao temporal convolution
layers basically extracting the video
features at different resolutions then
there is an upsampling path that expands
the lower dimensional features back to
the shape of the original video while
upsampling skip connections are also
used to reuse the generated features
during the down sampling path in any
convolutional network always remember
that the earlier layers capture detailed
information about very local sections of
the image while latter layers pick up
Global highly semantic patterns by
accessing larger sections so by using
these skip connections unit combines the
local details with global features to be
like a super awesome Network for feature
learning and our denoising task vdm was
a cool proof of concept but the
resolution was too low to make the
models useful in Real World Plus vdm
requires labeled video training data
which as we have discussed before are
very rare in 2022 meta AI introduced the
make a video model and do you know what
they did they said we don't even need
video caption data at all in the first
phase a basic text to image diffusion
model just like Del or stable diffusion
is trained with just paired image to
Text data in the next phase however
unsupervised learning is done on
unlabeled video data sets to teach the
model temporal relationships along with
the 2D convolution that had already
existed in the base image diffusion
model to capture spatial features the
new 1D convolution layers and attention
layers are introduced in the second
phase to learn the sequential
relationships between frames these
additional temporal layers are trained
using a technique called mask spao
temporal decoding where the network
learns to generate missing frames by
processing the visible frames at
inference time given an input text
prompt we first generate some key frames
using our image diffusion model and then
the spot temporal decoder interpolates
between these visible frames by
generating brand new frames in between
these images are very low resolution
still with just 64x 64 images and 16
frames but then we use temporal super
resolution models or TSR to insert more
frames in between followed by spatial
super resolution modules or SSR to Super
scale to a higher resolution and after
all that expansion the original 64x 64x
16 video gets converted to 256x 256
videos with 76
frames Google's imagine video uses a
casket of seven different modules that
all work together to generate a video
from text the process starts with a base
video generation model that creates a
low resolution video clip this is
followed by a series of those SSR models
and TSR models to basically upsample the
spatial and temporal factors of this low
resolution video this cascaded approach
allows imagine video to generate high
quality high resolution videos with some
impressive temporal consistency while
models like imagine and make a video are
pretty impressive the whole
interpolation between frames and super
scaling things can still make the video
appear inauthentic and not very physic
models like nvidia's video ldm tries to
address this temporal inconsistency in a
different way they use something called
as latent diffusion modeling first to
train a latent diffusion image generator
again I have an entire video where I
implement this thing from scratch so go
check that out for more details the
basic idea is to train a variational
autoencoder or a vae the VA consists of
an encoder Network that can compress
input frames into a low dimensional
latent space and another decoder Network
that can reconstruct it back to the
original image from that latent space
the diffusion model is trained entirely
in this low dimensional space meaning
the diffusion model outputs latent
vectors which gets decoded to form the
real image this drastically reduces the
computational complexity because we are
basically trying to generate compressed
work versions instead of the full
dimensional image when producing videos
the image generator just normally
produces individual frames as separate
images of course this will generate good
images but it will lack any temporal
coherence because the network really has
not yet been shown any video data yet to
address this the decoder of the vae is
enhanced by adding new temporal layers
in between its spatial layers these
temporary layers are fine-tuned on video
data making the vae reduce temporarily
consistent and flicker-free videos from
the latent generated by the image
diffusion model finally we will talk
about open AI sod as of this recording
and official technical paper is not out
yet but we do have a lot of cool videos
and a short blog article from open let's
see the major architectural Clues here
first up Sora trains a video compression
Network that compresses the video both
spatially and temporarily remember in
video ldm that we just disced
the compression to latent space was only
along the spatial axis not the time axis
recent papers like the Cog video x have
used causal 3dv architectures where the
entire video is simultaneously
compressed along the spatial and the
temporal axis the Cog video x paper
mentions that causal 3D vas reduces the
computational complexity of the
diffusion process cuz the model trains
on videos of shorter sequence lengths
and the aggregation of multi multiple
frames together prevents flickering and
inconsistencies in the generated video
the term caal in caal vae also is
important because it denotes that while
compression the convolution operations
are masked such that no frame receives
information from future frames in the
sequence basically preserving the causal
nature of videos but back to soda a
Transformer model is used as the main
diffusion network instead of the more
traditional choice of a unit model of
course Transformers need the input data
to be a set of tokens or a sequence of
tokens that's why the compressed video
encodings we received is flattened into
a sequence of patches observe that each
patch along with its location in the
sequence represents a spao temporal
feature of the video and then just like
regular diffusion noise is added to this
patch sequence and then the diffusion
transform is strained to den noise them
Transformer blocks for video diffusion
model seem to be a very promising
direction as shown by not only Sora but
also paper like Cog video and diffusion
Transformers that have come before sod
unit and convolution models are great
because of their inductive bias about
images but if you have access to a
really large scale data set and you can
throw a lot of compute at your models
history has taught us that the general
power of a transformer can pretty much
learn any data because of this generic
attention framework from multiple
sources it has also been claimed that
open has indeed collected the most
massive human annotated video Tex data
set to train Sora the massive data the
huge compute investment the generality
of Transformers and the representation
power of latent modeling have all
probably contributed to the making of
Sora and the truly amazing and super
impressive videos it's able to produce
well hope you enjoyed this video it was
not AI generated it was human generated
and I hope you learn something new a
huge thanks to our patreon supporters go

magnificent bye oh
