GLIDE is a generative model based on text-guided diffusion models for more photorealistic image generation. Guided diffusion is applied to text-conditional image synthesis and the model is able to handle free-form prompts. The diffusion model uses a text encoder to condition on natural language descriptions. The model is provided with editing capabilities in addition to zero-shot generation, allowing for iterative improvement of model samples to match more complex prompts. The model is fine-tuned to perform image inpainting.
Blended Diffusion enables a zero-shot local text-guided image editing of natural images. Given an input image $x$, an input mask $m$ and a target guiding text $t$ - the method enables to change the masked area within the image corresponding the the guiding text s.t. the unmasked area is left unchanged.
DALL·E 2 is a generative text-to-image model made up of two main components: a prior that generates a CLIP image embedding given a text caption, and a decoder that generates an image conditioned on the image embedding.
