Generalized Consistency Trajectory Models

Official PyTorch implementation of Generalized Consistency Trajectory Models for Image Manipulation by Beomsu Kim*, Jaemin Kim*, Jeongsol Kim, and Jong Chul Ye (*Equal contribution).

Diffusion models suffer from two limitations.

• They require large number of function evaluations (NFEs) to generate high-fidelity images.
• They only enable noise-to-image generation.

We propose the Generalized Consistency Trajectory Model (GCTM), which learns the probability flow ODE (PFODE) between arbitrary distributions via Flow Matching theory. Thus, GCTMs are capable of

• Noise-to-image and image-to-image translation,
• Score or velocity evaluation with NFE = 1,
• Traversal between arbitrary points of the PFODE with NFE = 1.

Consequently, GCTMs are applicable to a wide variety of tasks, such as but not limited to

• Unconditional generation
• Image-to-image translation
• Zero-shot and supervised image restoration
• Image editing
• Latent manipulation

Environment

• CUDA version 12.0
• NVCC version 11.5.119
• Python version 3.11.5
• PyTorch version 2.0.1+cu118
• Torchvision version 0.15.2+cu118
• Torchaudio version 2.0.2+cu118

Datasets

• CIFAR10 : https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~kriz/cifar.html
• FFHQ : https://github.com/NVlabs/ffhq-dataset
• Image-to-Image : https://efrosgans.eecs.berkeley.edu/pix2pix/datasets/

Training

Use train_gctm.py to train unconditional and image-to-image models, and use train_gctm_inverse.py to train supervised image restoration models. To train unconditional or image-to-image models, one first needs to create a FID_stats directory and save the Inception activation statistics in the format (dataset name)_(resolution).npz. Inception activation statistics can be computed using save_fid_stats function in ./pytorch_fid/fid_score.py. Or, you can just comment out FID evaluation lines in the training code.

Example training scripts are provided in the ./configs directory. For instance, to train a CIFAR10 unconditional model with independent coupling, one may use the command

sh ./configs/unconditional/cifar10.sh
