- Get rid of forwards(), it makes numeric_stability.py not work properly.
- Do stability auditing across layers.
- Upsample last instead of first, work in much higher dimensionality for transforms.
Move to a fully fixup residual network for the switch (no
batch norms). Fix a bunch of other small bugs. Add in a
temporary latent feed-forward from the bottom of the
switch. Fix several initialization issues.
- Just use resnet blocks for the multiplexer trunk of the generator
- Every block initializes itself, rather than everything at the end
- Cleans up some messy parts of the architecture, including unnecessary
kernel sizes and places where BN is not used properly.
An evolution of SwitchedResidualGenerator, this variant nests attention
modules upon themselves to extend the representative capacity of the
model significantly.
Got rid of the converged multiplexer bases but kept the configurable architecture. The
new multiplexers look a lot like the old one.
Took some queues from the transformer architecture: translate image to a higher filter-space
and stay there for the duration of the models computation. Also perform convs after each
switch to allow the model to anneal issues that arise.
Found out that batch norm is causing the switches to init really poorly -
not using a significant number of transforms. Might be a great time to
re-consider using the attention norm, but for now just re-enable it.
- Add filters_mid spec which allows a expansion->squeeze for the transformation layers.
- Add scale and bias AFTER the switch
- Remove identity transform (models were converging on this)
- Move attention image generation and temperature setting into new function which gets called every step with a save path
The concept here is to use switching to split the generator into two functions:
interpretation and transformation. Transformation is done at the pixel level by
relatively simple conv layers, while interpretation is computed at various levels
by far more complicated conv stacks. The two are merged using the switching
mechanism.
This architecture is far less computationally intensive that RRDB.
- Add LowDimRRDB; essentially a "normal RRDB" but the RDB blocks process at a low dimension using PixelShuffle
- Add switching wrappers around it
- Add support for switching on top of multi-headed inputs and outputs
- Moves PixelUnshuffle to arch_util
doResizeLoss has a 50% chance to resize the LQ image to 50% size,
then back to original size. This is useful to training a generator to
recover these lost pixel values while also being able to do
repairs on higher resolution images during training.
Renames AttentiveRRDB to SwitchedRRDB. Moves SwitchedConv to
an external repo (neonbjb/switchedconv). Switchs RDB blocks instead
of conv blocks. Works good!
