扩散模型实战（四）：从零构建扩散模型

一、环境配置&python包的导入

最好有GPU环境，比如公司的GPU集群或者Google Colab，下面是代码实现：

# 安装diffusers库!pip install -q diffusers# 导入所需要的包import torchimport torchvisionfrom torch import nnfrom torch.nn import functional as Ffrom torch.utils.data import DataLoaderfrom diffusers import DDPMScheduler, UNet2DModelfrom matplotlib import pyplot as pltdevice = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")print(f'Using device: {device}')

# 输出Using device: cuda

此时会输出运行环境是GPU还是CPU

二、加载MNIST数据集

MNIST数据集是一个小数据集，存储的是0-9手写数字字体，每张图片都28X28的灰度图片，每个像素的取值范围是[0,1]，下面加载该数据集，并展示部分数据：

dataset = torchvision.datasets.MNIST(root="mnist/", train=True, download=True, transform=torchvision.transforms.ToTensor())train_dataloader = DataLoader(dataset, batch_size=8, shuffle=True)x, y = next(iter(train_dataloader))print('Input shape:', x.shape)print('Labels:', y)plt.imshow(torchvision.utils.make_grid(x)[0], cmap='Greys');

# 输出Input shape: torch.Size([8, 1, 28, 28])Labels: tensor([7, 8, 4, 2, 3, 6, 0, 2])

三、扩散模型的退化过程

所谓退化过程，其实就是对输入数据加入噪声的过程，由于MNIST数据集的像素范围在[0,1]，那么我们加入噪声也需要保持在相同的范围，这样我们可以很容易的把输入数据与噪声进行混合，代码如下：

def corrupt(x, amount):  """Corrupt the input `x` by mixing it with noise according to `amount`"""  noise = torch.rand_like(x)  amount = amount.view(-1, 1, 1, 1) # Sort shape so broadcasting works  return x*(1-amount) + noise*amount

接下来，我们看一下逐步加噪的效果，代码如下：

# Plotting the input datafig, axs = plt.subplots(2, 1, figsize=(12, 5))axs[0].set_title('Input data')axs[0].imshow(torchvision.utils.make_grid(x)[0], cmap='Greys')# Adding noiseamount = torch.linspace(0, 1, x.shape[0]) # Left to right -> more corruptionnoised_x = corrupt(x, amount)# Plottinf the noised versionaxs[1].set_title('Corrupted data (-- amount increases -->)')axs[1].imshow(torchvision.utils.make_grid(noised_x)[0], cmap='Greys');

从上图可以看出，从左到右加入的噪声逐步增多，当噪声量接近1时，数据看起来像纯粹的随机噪声。

四、构建一个简单的UNet模型

UNet模型与自编码器有异曲同工之妙，UNet最初是用于完成医学图像中分割任务的，网络结构如下所示：

代码如下：

class BasicUNet(nn.Module):    """A minimal UNet implementation."""    def __init__(self, in_channels=1, out_channels=1):        super().__init__()        self.down_layers = torch.nn.ModuleList([             nn.Conv2d(in_channels, 32, kernel_size=5, padding=2),            nn.Conv2d(32, 64, kernel_size=5, padding=2),            nn.Conv2d(64, 64, kernel_size=5, padding=2),        ])        self.up_layers = torch.nn.ModuleList([            nn.Conv2d(64, 64, kernel_size=5, padding=2),            nn.Conv2d(64, 32, kernel_size=5, padding=2),            nn.Conv2d(32, out_channels, kernel_size=5, padding=2),         ])        self.act = nn.SiLU() # The activation function        self.downscale = nn.MaxPool2d(2)        self.upscale = nn.Upsample(scale_factor=2)    def forward(self, x):        h = []        for i, l in enumerate(self.down_layers):            x = self.act(l(x)) # Through the layer and the activation function            if i < 2: # For all but the third (final) down layer:              h.append(x) # Storing output for skip connection              x = self.downscale(x) # Downscale ready for the next layer                      for i, l in enumerate(self.up_layers):            if i > 0: # For all except the first up layer              x = self.upscale(x) # Upscale              x += h.pop() # Fetching stored output (skip connection)            x = self.act(l(x)) # Through the layer and the activation function                    return x

我们来检验一下模型输入输出的shape变化是否符合预期，代码如下：

net = BasicUNet()x = torch.rand(8, 1, 28, 28)net(x).shape

# 输出torch.Size([8, 1, 28, 28])

再来看一下模型的参数量，代码如下：

sum([p.numel() for p in net.parameters()])

# 输出309057

至此，已经完成数据加载和UNet模型构建，当然UNet模型的结构可以有不同的设计。

五、扩散模型训练

扩散模型应该学习什么？其实有很多不同的目标，比如学习噪声，我们先以一个简单的例子开始，输入数据为带噪声的MNIST数据，扩散模型应该输出对应的最佳数字预测，因此学习的目标是预测值与真实值的MSE，训练代码如下：

# Dataloader (you can mess with batch size)batch_size = 128train_dataloader = DataLoader(dataset, batch_size=batch_size, shuffle=True)# How many runs through the data should we do?n_epochs = 3# Create the networknet = BasicUNet()net.to(device)# Our loss finctionloss_fn = nn.MSELoss()# The optimizeropt = torch.optim.Adam(net.parameters(), lr=1e-3) # Keeping a record of the losses for later viewinglosses = []# The training loopfor epoch in range(n_epochs):    for x, y in train_dataloader:        # Get some data and prepare the corrupted version        x = x.to(device) # Data on the GPU        noise_amount = torch.rand(x.shape[0]).to(device) # Pick random noise amounts        noisy_x = corrupt(x, noise_amount) # Create our noisy x        # Get the model prediction        pred = net(noisy_x)        # Calculate the loss        loss = loss_fn(pred, x) # How close is the output to the true 'clean' x?        # Backprop and update the params:        opt.zero_grad()        loss.backward()        opt.step()        # Store the loss for later        losses.append(loss.item())    # Print our the average of the loss values for this epoch:    avg_loss = sum(losses[-len(train_dataloader):])/len(train_dataloader)    print(f'Finished epoch {epoch}. Average loss for this epoch: {avg_loss:05f}')# View the loss curveplt.plot(losses)plt.ylim(0, 0.1);

# 输出Finished epoch 0. Average loss for this epoch: 0.024689Finished epoch 1. Average loss for this epoch: 0.019226Finished epoch 2. Average loss for this epoch: 0.017939

训练过程的loss曲线如下图所示：

六、扩散模型效果评估

我们选取一部分数据来评估一下模型的预测效果，代码如下：

#@markdown Visualizing model predictions on noisy inputs:# Fetch some datax, y = next(iter(train_dataloader))x = x[:8] # Only using the first 8 for easy plotting# Corrupt with a range of amountsamount = torch.linspace(0, 1, x.shape[0]) # Left to right -> more corruptionnoised_x = corrupt(x, amount)# Get the model predictionswith torch.no_grad():  preds = net(noised_x.to(device)).detach().cpu()# Plotfig, axs = plt.subplots(3, 1, figsize=(12, 7))axs[0].set_title('Input data')axs[0].imshow(torchvision.utils.make_grid(x)[0].clip(0, 1), cmap='Greys')axs[1].set_title('Corrupted data')axs[1].imshow(torchvision.utils.make_grid(noised_x)[0].clip(0, 1), cmap='Greys')axs[2].set_title('Network Predictions')axs[2].imshow(torchvision.utils.make_grid(preds)[0].clip(0, 1), cmap='Greys');
