In the dynamic world of AI development, visualizing how your model focuses on different parts of input data is crucial for enhancing performance and interpretability. This guide will walk you through the process of extracting and visualizing Cross Attention Maps using the latest Diffusers code.

What You Need to Get Started

Before we dive in, ensure you have the right tools at your disposal:

• Python (version 3.9 and above)
• The latest Diffusers library (v0.29.0 or higher)
• A machine equipped with GPU for optimal performance

Setting Up Your Environment

Follow these simple steps to create a virtual environment and install the necessary packages:

shell
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
# or
conda create -n attn python=3.9 -y
conda activate attn
pip install -r requirements.txt

Visualizing Cross Attention Maps

Once your environment is set up, it’s time to visualize the Cross Attention Maps. You can follow these straightforward steps:

1. Initialize the Modules

First, initialize the necessary modules to start.

python
import torch
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
from utils import (
    attn_maps,
    cross_attn_init,
    register_cross_attention_hook,
    set_layer_with_name_and_path,
    save_by_timesteps_and_path,
    save_by_timesteps
)

cross_attn_init()

2. Create and Configure Your Pipeline

Next, create your diffusion pipeline:

python
pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
)
pipe = pipe.to("cuda:0")

3. Replace Modules and Register Hooks

In this step, replace necessary modules and register the cross-attention hook:

python
pipe.unet = set_layer_with_name_and_path(pipe.unet)
pipe.unet = register_cross_attention_hook(pipe.unet)

4. Generate Your Image

Now, you can generate an image by specifying a prompt:

python
height = 512
width = 768
prompt = "A portrait photo of a kangaroo wearing an orange hoodie and blue sunglasses standing on the grass in front of the Sydney Opera House holding a sign on the chest that says SDXL!"
image = pipe(
    prompt,
    height=height,
    width=width,
    num_inference_steps=15,
).images[0]
image.save("test.png")

5. Save Your Attention Map

Finally, save your attention map using one of two methods:

• Save by Timesteps and Path: This method is more intuitive and takes about 2-3 minutes.
• Save by Timesteps: A quicker approach, taking around 1-2 minutes.

python
# Save by timesteps and path
save_by_timesteps_and_path(pipe.tokenizer, prompt, height, width)

# Or save by timesteps
save_by_timesteps(pipe.tokenizer, prompt, height, width)

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues during this process, consider the following troubleshooting ideas:

• Ensure that all prerequisite libraries are installed and updated to the latest versions.
• Check your GPU setup to confirm it is properly configured for PyTorch.
• Refer to the [Hugging Face Documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs) for any updates and community advice.
