Welcome to your guide on how to effectively implement the Denoising Diffusion Policy Optimization (D3PO) for fine-tuning diffusion models using human feedback! This innovative method allows for the optimization of models without the complexities of reward models, and it was accepted at CVPR 2024. Let’s dive in!

1. Requirements

• First, ensure that you have Python 3.10 or a newer version installed.
• Clone the D3PO repository from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/yk7333/d3po.git

• Navigate into the cloned directory:

cd d3po

• Install the necessary dependencies by running:

pip install -e .

2. Usage

D3PO utilizes the accelerate library to streamline distributed training. Before executing the core code, you must configure your settings for accelerate.

accelerate config

Depending on your hardware capabilities, you may choose between single or multi-GPU training options.

2.1 Training with Reward Model (Quantifiable Objectives)

To initiate experiments involving a reward model, execute the following command:

accelerate launch scripts/rmtrain_d3po.py

You can customize the prompt function and reward function in config/base.py according to various tasks. An example is using ImageReward model to enhance human preferences for images. To reproduce experiments, simply run the following commands:

train_ddpo.py

train_dpok.py

2.2 Training without Reward Model

The training process comprises two significant steps: sampling and training. First, to generate image samples, run:

accelerate launch scripts/sample.py

This command generates numerous image samples and saves data, including latent representations and prompts, in the data directory. Next, you can annotate these images based on human feedback.

For annotation, we set up a website using sd-webui-infinite-image-browsing. After organizing the feedback into a JSON file, modify sample_path in config/base.py and set it to the directory of image samples. Also, set json_path to where your JSON file is stored.

Finally, begin the training with:

accelerate launch scripts/train.py

This training will be fine-tuned based on human feedback to enhance results like reducing image distortions and improving prompt-image alignment. You may customize further tasks based on your needs.

Troubleshooting Tips

While configuring D3PO, you might encounter some common issues. Here are a few tips to troubleshoot:

• Issues with installation: Ensure that Python is correctly installed, and your environment supports the necessary dependencies.
• Configuration errors: Double-check your accelerate settings, especially if using multiple GPUs. Make sure they are correctly assigned.
• Sample not generating: Verify the correctness of the script paths and the status of any external libraries being used.
