CVPR 2022
The examples of generated images by RQ-Transformer using class conditions and text conditions.
Note that the text conditions of the examples are not used in training time.
TL;DR For autoregressive (AR) modeling of high-resolution images, we propose the two-stage framework, which consists of RQ-VAE and RQ-Transformer. Our framework can precisely approximate a feature map of an image and represent an image as a stack of discrete codes to effectively generate high-quality images.
We have tested our codes on the environment below
Python 3.7.10
/Pytorch 1.9.0
/torchvision 0.10.0
/CUDA 11.1
/Ubuntu 18.04
.

We provide pretrained checkpoints of RQ-VAEs and RQ-Transformers to reproduce the results in the paper. Please use the links below to download tar.gz
files and unzip the pretrained checkpoints. Each link contains pretrained checkpoints of RQ-VAE and RQ-Transformer and their model configurations.

FID scores above are measured based on original samples and generated images, and the scores in brackets are measured using 5% rejection sampling via pretrained ResNet-101. We do not provide the pipeline of rejection sampling in this repository.
We also provide the pretrained checkpoint of large-scale RQ-Transformer for text-to-image (T2I) generation. Our paper does not include the results of this large-scale RQ-Transformer for T2I generation, since we trained RQ-Transformer with 3.9B parameters on about 30 millions of text-to-image pairs from CC-3M, CC-12M, and YFCC-subset after the paper submission. Please use the link below to download the checkpoints of large-scale T2I model. We emphasize that any commercial use of our checkpoints is strictly prohibited.
Dataset. | RQ-VAE & RQ-Transformer | # params |
---|---|---|
CC-3M + CC-12M + YFCC-subset | link | 3.9B |
In this repository, we evaluate the pretrained RQ-Transformer with 3.9B parameters on MS-COCO. According to the evaluation protocol of DALL-Eval, we randomly select 30K text captions in val2014
split of MS-COCO and generate 256x256 images using the selected captions. We use (1024, 0.95) for top-(k, p) sampling, and FID scores of other models are from Table 2 in DALL-Eval paper.
Model | # params | # data | Image / Grid Size | FID on 2014val |
---|---|---|---|---|
X-LXMERT | 228M | 180K | 256x256 / 8x8 | 37.4 |
DALL-E small | 120M | 15M | 256x256 / 16x16 | 45.8 |
ruDALL-E-XL | 1.3B | 120M | 256x256 / 32x32 | 18.6 |
minDALL-E | 1.3B | 15M | 256x256 / 16x16 | 24.6 |
RQ-Transformer (ours) | 3.9B | 30M | 256x256 / 8x8x4 | 16.9 |
Note that some text captions in MS-COCO are also included in the YFCC-subset, but the FIDs are not much different whether the duplicated captions are removed in the evaluation or not. See this paper for more details.
We provide a jupyter notebook for you to easily enjoy text-to-image (T2I) generation of pretrained RQ-Transformers and the results ! After you download the pretrained checkpoints for T2I generation, open notebooks/T2I_sampling.ipynb
and follows the instructions in the notebook file. We recommend to use a GPU such as NVIDIA V100 or A100, which has enough memory size over 32GB, considering the model size.
We attach some examples of T2I generation from the provided Jupyter notebook.
Examples of Generated Images from Text Conditions
Our implementation uses DistributedDataParallel
in Pytorch
for efficient training with multi-node and multi-GPU environments. Four NVIDIA A100 GPUs are used to train all RQ-VAEs in our paper. You can also adjust -nr
, -np
, and -nr
according to your GPU setting.
-
Training 8x8x4 RQ-VAE on ImageNet 256x256 with a single node having four GPUs
python -m torch.distributed.launch \ --master_addr=$MASTER_ADDR \ --master_port=$PORT \ --nnodes=1 --nproc_per_node=4 --node_rank=0 \ main_stage1.py \ -m=configs/imagenet256/stage1/in256-rqvae-8x8x4.yaml -r=$SAVE_DIR
-
If you want to train 8x8x4 RQ-VAE on ImageNet using four nodes, where each node has one GPU, run the following scripts at each node with
$RANK
being the node rank (0, 1, 2, 3). Here, we assume that the master node corresponds to the node with rank 0.python -m torch.distributed.launch \ --master_addr=$MASTER_ADDR \ --master_port=$PORT \ --nnodes=4 --nproc_per_node=1 --node_rank=$RANK \ main_stage1.py \ -m=configs/imagenet256/stage1/in256-rqvae-8x8x4.yaml -r=$SAVE_DIR
- To finetune a pretrained RQ-VAE on other datasets such as LSUNs, you have to load the pretrained checkpoints giving
-l=$RQVAE_CKPT
argument. - For example, when a pretrained RQ-VAE is finetuned on LSUN-Church, you can run the command below:
python -m torch.distributed.launch \ --master_addr=$MASTER_ADDR \ --master_port=$PORT \ --nnodes=1 --nproc_per_node=4 --node_rank=0 \ main_stage1.py \ -m=configs/lsun-church/stage1/church256-rqvae-8x8x4.yaml -r=$SAVE_DIR -l=$RQVAE_CKPT
Run compute_rfid.py
to evaluate the reconstruction FID (rFID) of learned RQ-VAEs.
python compute_rfid.py --split=val --vqvae=$RQVAE_CKPT
- The model checkpoint of RQ-VAE and its configuration yaml file have to be located in the same directory.
compute_rfid.py
evaluates rFID of RQ-VAE on the dataset in the configuration file.- Adjust
--batch-size
as the memory size of your GPU environment.
In this repository, the quantitative results in the paper can be reproduced by the codes for the evaluation of RQ-Transformer. Before the evaluation of RQ-Transformer on a dataset, the dataset has to be prepared for computing the feature vectors of its samples. To reproduce the results in the paper, we provide the statistics of feature vectors of each dataset, since extracting feature vectors accompanies computational costs and a long time. You can also prepare the datasets, which are used in our paper, as you follow the instructions of data/READMD.md
.
- Download the feature statistics of datasets as follows:
cd assets wget https://arena.kakaocdn.net/brainrepo/etc/RQVAE/8b325b628f49bf60a3094fcf9419398c/fid_stats.tar.gz tar -zxvf fid_stats.tar.gz
- After the pretrained RQ-Transformer generates 50K images, FID (and IS) between the generated images and its training samples is computed.
- You can input
--save-dir
to specify directory where the generated images are saved. If--save-dir
is not given, the generated images are saved at the directory of the checkpoint. - When four GPUs in a single node are used, run the command below
python -m torch.distributed.launch \ --master_addr=$MASTER_ADDR \ --master_port=$PORT \ --nnodes=1 --nproc_per_node=4 --node_rank=0 \ main_sampling_fid.py \ -v=$RQVAE_CKPT -a=$RQTRANSFORMER_CKPT --save-dir=$SAVE_IMG_DIR
- After the pretrained RQ-Transformer generates images using text captions of CC-3M validation set, FID between the validation images and generated images is computed together with CLIP score of generated images and their text conditions.
- Evaluation of RQ-Transformer requires text prompts of cc-3m. Thus, please refer to
data/READMD.md
and prepare the dataset first. - When four GPUs in a single node are used, run the command below
python -m torch.distributed.launch \ --master_addr=$MASTER_ADDR \ --master_port=$PORT \ --nnodes=1 --nproc_per_node=4 --node_rank=0 \ main_sampling_txt2img.py \ -v=$RQVAE_CKPT -a=$RQTRANSFORMER_CKPT --dataset="cc3m" --save-dir=$SAVE_IMG_DIR
- We follow the protopocal of DALL-Eval to evaluate RQ-Transformer on MS-COCO, we use 30K samples, which are randomly selected in MS-COCO
2014val
split, and provide the sampled samples asjson
file. - Evaluation of RQ-Transformer requires text prompts of MS_COCO. Thus, please refer to
data/READMD.md
and prepare the dataset first. - When four GPUs in a single node are used, run the command below
python -m torch.distributed.launch \ --master_addr=$MASTER_ADDR \ --master_port=$PORT \ --nnodes=1 --nproc_per_node=4 --node_rank=0 \ main_sampling_txt2img.py \ -v=$RQVAE_CKPT -a=$RQTRANSFORMER_CKPT --dataset="coco_2014val" --save-dir=$SAVE_IMG_DIR
NOTE
- Unfortunately, we do not provide the training code of RQ-Transformer to avoid unexpected misuses by finetuning our checkpoints. We note that any commercial use of our checkpoints is strictly prohibited.
- To accurately reproduce the reported results, the checkpoints of RQ-VAE and RQ-Transformer are correctly matched as described above.
- The generated images are saved as
.pkl
files in the directory$DIR_SAVED_IMG
. - For top-k and top-p sampling, the saved setting in the configuration file of pretrained checkpoints is used. If you want to use different top-(k,p) settings, use
--top-k
and--top-p
in running the sampling scripts. - Once generated images are saved,
compute_metrics.py
can be used to evaluate the images again as follows:
python compute_metrics.py fake_path=$DIR_SAVED_IMG ref_dataset=$DATASET_NAME
We provide the codes to measure the sampling speed of RQ-Transformer according to the code shape of RQ-VAEs, such as 8x8x4 or 16x16x1, as shown in Figure 4 in the paper. To reproduce the figure, run the following commands on NVIDIA A100 GPU:
# RQ-Transformer (1.4B) on 16x16x1 RQ-VAE (corresponds to VQ-GAN 1.4B model)
python -m measure_throughput f=16 d=1 c=16384 model=huge batch_size=100
python -m measure_throughput f=16 d=1 c=16384 model=huge batch_size=200
python -m measure_throughput f=16 d=1 c=16384 model=huge batch_size=500 # this will result in OOM.
# RQ-Transformer (1.4B) on 8x8x4 RQ-VAE
python -m measure_throughput f=32 d=4 c=16384 model=huge batch_size=100
python -m measure_throughput f=32 d=4 c=16384 model=huge batch_size=200
python -m measure_throughput f=32 d=4 c=16384 model=huge batch_size=500

Our transformer-related implementation is inspired by minGPT and minDALL-E. We appreciate the authors of VQGAN for making their codes available to public.
Since RQ-Transformer is trained on publicly available datasets, some generated images can include socially unacceptable contents according to the text conditions. When the problem occurs, please let us know the pair of "text condition" and "generated images".
