Japanese Stable Diffusion

🚀 Japanese Stable Diffusion Model Card

Japanese Stable Diffusion is a Japanese - specific latent text - to - image diffusion model that can generate photo - realistic images from text input.

This model was trained using the powerful text - to - image model, Stable Diffusion. For more details on our training method, refer to Training Procedure.

Model Details

Misuse, Malicious Use, and Out-of-Scope Use

⚠️ Important Note

This section is taken from the DALLE - MINI model card, but applies in the same way to Stable Diffusion v1.

The model should not be used to intentionally create or disseminate images that create hostile or alienating environments for people. This includes generating images that people would foreseeably find disturbing, distressing, or offensive; or content that propagates historical or current stereotypes.

Out-of-Scope Use

The model was not trained to be factual or true representations of people or events, and therefore using the model to generate such content is out - of - scope for the abilities of this model.

Misuse and Malicious Use

Using the model to generate content that is cruel to individuals is a misuse of this model. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Generating demeaning, dehumanizing, or otherwise harmful representations of people or their environments, cultures, religions, etc.
• Intentionally promoting or propagating discriminatory content or harmful stereotypes.
• Impersonating individuals without their consent.
• Sexual content without consent of the people who might see it.
• Mis - and disinformation
• Representations of egregious violence and gore
• Sharing of copyrighted or licensed material in violation of its terms of use.
• Sharing content that is an alteration of copyrighted or licensed material in violation of its terms of use.

Limitations and Bias

Limitations

• The model does not achieve perfect photorealism.
• The model cannot render legible text.
• The model does not perform well on more difficult tasks which involve compositionality, such as rendering an image corresponding to “A red cube on top of a blue sphere”.
• Faces and people in general may not be generated properly.
• The model was trained mainly with Japanese captions and will not work as well in other languages.
• The autoencoding part of the model is lossy.
• The model was trained on a subset of a large - scale dataset LAION - 5B which contains adult material and is not fit for product use without additional safety mechanisms and considerations.
• No additional measures were used to deduplicate the dataset. As a result, we observe some degree of memorization for images that are duplicated in the training data. The training data can be searched at [https://rom1504.github.io/clip - retrieval/](https://rom1504.github.io/clip - retrieval/) to possibly assist in the detection of memorized images.

Bias

While the capabilities of image generation models are impressive, they can also reinforce or exacerbate social biases. Japanese Stable Diffusion was trained on Japanese datasets including LAION - 5B with Japanese captions, which consists of images that are primarily limited to Japanese descriptions. Texts and images from communities and cultures that use other languages are likely to be insufficiently accounted for. This affects the overall output of the model. Further, the ability of the model to generate content with non - Japanese prompts is significantly worse than with Japanese - language prompts.

Safety Module

The intended use of this model is with the Safety Checker in Diffusers. This checker works by checking model outputs against known hard - coded NSFW concepts. The concepts are intentionally hidden to reduce the likelihood of reverse - engineering this filter. Specifically, the checker compares the class probability of harmful concepts in the embedding space of the CLIPTextModel after generation of the images. The concepts are passed into the model with the generated image and compared to a hand - engineered weight for each NSFW concept.

Training

Training Data

We used the following dataset for training the model:

• Approximately 100 million images with Japanese captions, including the Japanese subset of LAION - 5B.

Training Procedure

Japanese Stable Diffusion has the same architecture as Stable Diffusion and was trained using Stable Diffusion. Because Stable Diffusion was trained on an English dataset and the CLIP tokenizer is basically for English, we had 2 stages to transfer to a language - specific model, inspired by PITI.

1. Train a Japanese - specific text encoder with our Japanese tokenizer from scratch with the latent diffusion model fixed. This stage is expected to map Japanese captions to Stable Diffusion's latent space.
2. Fine - tune the text encoder and the latent diffusion model jointly. This stage is expected to generate Japanese - style images more.

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

import torch
from torch import autocast
from diffusers import LMSDiscreteScheduler
from japanese_stable_diffusion import JapaneseStableDiffusionPipeline

model_id = "rinna/japanese-stable-diffusion"
device = "cuda"
# Use the K-LMS scheduler here instead
scheduler = LMSDiscreteScheduler(beta_start=0.00085, beta_end=0.012, beta_schedule="scaled_linear", num_train_timesteps=1000)
pipe = JapaneseStableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(model_id, scheduler=scheduler, use_auth_token=True)
pipe = pipe.to(device)

prompt = "猫の肖像画 油絵"
with autocast("cuda"):
    image = pipe(prompt, guidance_scale=7.5)["sample"][0]  
    
image.save("output.png")

💡 Usage Tip

JapaneseStableDiffusionPipeline is almost the same as diffusers' StableDiffusionPipeline but added some lines to initialize our models properly.
