SRC-Flow method enhances image generation with compact semantic representations

Researchers have developed SRC-Flow, a new normalizing flow method designed to improve image generation quality. The approach addresses the challenge of normalizing flows struggling with high-dimensional representations by introducing a Semantic Representation Compressor (SRC). This compressor compacts features into a lower-dimensional semantic space, reducing the modeling burden and enabling more effective generation. SRC-Flow achieves state-of-the-art results among normalizing flow methods on ImageNet datasets, offering exact likelihood computation and deterministic sampling. AI

IMPACT Improves likelihood-based image generation quality and efficiency for normalizing flow models.

    SRC-Flow: Compact Semantic Representations Enable Normalizing Flows for Image Generation

    Normalizing flows (NFs) provide exact likelihoods and deterministic invertible sampling, but have historically lagged behind diffusion models for large-scale image generation. We identify a key obstacle: NFs are required to learn a single invertible transport over the full ambien…
