论文摘要
我们介绍了自回归文本对图像（Parti）模型的途径，该模型会产生高保真的影像图像并支持涉及复杂组成和世界知识的内容丰富的综合。 Parti将文本对图像生成视为类似于机器翻译的序列到序列建模问题，图像令牌的序列是目标输出，而不是其他语言的文本令牌。这种策略自然可以利用大型语言模型的先前工作，通过扩展数据和模型尺寸，能力和性能的持续进展。我们的方法很简单：首先，Parti使用基于变压器的图像令牌VIT-VQGAN将图像编码为离散令牌的序列。其次，我们通过将编码器二次变压器模型缩放到20B参数来实现一致的质量改进，而新的最先进的零弹药零FID得分为7.23，而MS-Coco的FIDED FID得分为3.22。我们对本地化叙述以及党的详细分析（P2），这是1600多个英语提示的新的整体基准，证明了Parti在各种类别和难度方面的有效性。我们还探索并突出了我们的模型的局限性，以定义和体现重点的关键领域以进一步改进。有关高分辨率图像，请参见https://parti.research.google/。
We present the Pathways Autoregressive Text-to-Image (Parti) model, which generates high-fidelity photorealistic images and supports content-rich synthesis involving complex compositions and world knowledge. Parti treats text-to-image generation as a sequence-to-sequence modeling problem, akin to machine translation, with sequences of image tokens as the target outputs rather than text tokens in another language. This strategy can naturally tap into the rich body of prior work on large language models, which have seen continued advances in capabilities and performance through scaling data and model sizes. Our approach is simple: First, Parti uses a Transformer-based image tokenizer, ViT-VQGAN, to encode images as sequences of discrete tokens. Second, we achieve consistent quality improvements by scaling the encoder-decoder Transformer model up to 20B parameters, with a new state-of-the-art zero-shot FID score of 7.23 and finetuned FID score of 3.22 on MS-COCO. Our detailed analysis on Localized Narratives as well as PartiPrompts (P2), a new holistic benchmark of over 1600 English prompts, demonstrate the effectiveness of Parti across a wide variety of categories and difficulty aspects. We also explore and highlight limitations of our models in order to define and exemplify key areas of focus for further improvements. See https://parti.research.google/ for high-resolution images.
