Text-to-image generation is a task in artificial intelligence that involves generating images from textual descriptions. There are several approaches to this problem, including diffusion models, autoregressive models, generative adversarial networks (GANs), VQ-VAE Transformer based methods, and more recently, the use of diffusion models for text-to-image generation. Diffusion models have seen success in image generation, particularly in generating high resolution images [2, 3]. In these models, a diffusion process is used to gradually refine the image, resulting in high quality images. DALL-E 2 is a recent example of a diffusion model for text-to-image generation, which uses a diffusion prior on CLIP latents and cascaded diffusion models to generate 1024×1024 images [12]. Imagen is another example of a text-to-image model that uses diffusion models, but does not require the learning of a latent prior. In comparison to DALL-E 2, Imagen has achieved better results in both MS-COCO FID and side-by-side human evaluation on DrawBench. Autoregressive models [5] are another approach to text-to-image generation, where the image is generated one pixel at a time, based on the previously generated pixels. GANs [6, 7] are a type of machine learning model that involve training two models, a generator and a discriminator, to generate and evaluate images, respectively. VQ-VAE Transformer based methods [8, 9] involve using a combination of vector quantization and transformer networks to generate images from text. XMC-GAN [7] is a text-to-image model that uses BERT as a text encoder, while Imagen uses larger pretrained frozen language models, which have been found to be crucial to both image fidelity and image-text alignment. Cascaded diffusion models [10, 11, 13, 14] have also been popular in text-to-image generation, and have been used with success to generate high resolution images [2, 3]. Imagen is part of a series of text-to-image research at Google Research, along with its sibling model Parti. Both models aim to improve the quality and fidelity of images generated from text descriptions, and have achieved promising results in this field.
