Welcome to our comprehensive guide on using DAAM, a powerful tool for interpreting Stable Diffusion via cross attention mechanisms. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting out, this article provides detailed instructions on getting started, using the demo, working with the command line interface (CLI), and troubleshooting common issues.

Getting Started with DAAM

Before diving into the capabilities of DAAM, let’s set the stage. Here’s how to get DAAM up and running:

• First, install PyTorch for your platform.
• Then, install DAAM using the command: pip install daam. If you prefer an editable version, use the command: git clone https://github.com/castorini/daam && pip install -e daam.
• Finally, log in using the command: huggingface-cli login. Make sure to acquire a token from HuggingFace.co.

Running the Website Demo

To run the demo, open your terminal and execute:

daam-demo

After running the command, navigate to localhost:8080 to access the demo interface similar to what’s available on HuggingFace Spaces.

Using DAAM as a CLI Utility

If you’re looking for a quick way to experiment with DAAM, the CLI utility has got you covered. Here’s how to use it:

mkdir -p daam-test
cd daam-test
daam A dog running across the field.

This will create a new directory containing generated images and DAAM maps for each word. You’ll see output files like output.png and dog.heat_map.png, among others. For more options, simply run:

daam -h

Using DAAM as a Library

To integrate DAAM into your Python projects, follow these coding steps:

from daam import trace, set_seed
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import torch

model_id = "stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0"
device = "cuda"
pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(model_id, use_auth_token=True, torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True, variant="fp16")
pipe = pipe.to(device)

prompt = "A dog runs across the field"
gen = set_seed(0)  # for reproducibility
with torch.no_grad():
    with trace(pipe) as tc:
        out = pipe(prompt, num_inference_steps=50, generator=gen)
        heat_map = tc.compute_global_heat_map()
        heat_map = heat_map.compute_word_heat_map('dog')
        heat_map.plot_overlay(out.images[0])
        plt.show()

In this coded analogy, think of DAAM as an artist with a paintbrush. The artist can visualize a scene based on the prompt (the canvas), then utilizes a special set of tools (trace and heat maps) to highlight parts of the artwork that are influenced by specific elements (the words in the prompt). The final image represents the masterpiece that combines all these elements together.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

While using DAAM, you might encounter some hurdles. Here’s how to overcome them:

• Issue: Unable to install DAAM or PyTorch.
  Make sure you have the correct version of Python and that your environment has all dependencies. Double-check your Python version and update it if necessary.
• Issue: Login token not accepted.
  Ensure that you have obtained your token from HuggingFace and that it’s still valid. You can regenerate it if needed.
• Issue: Demo not loading.
  Verify that you are running daam-demo in the shell and that no other application is using port 8080.
