Matryoshka Diffusion Models (MDM) is an end-to-end framework for high-resolution image and video synthesis. It overcomes challenges faced by traditional diffusion models by introducing a multi-resolution diffusion process and a NestedUNet architecture. MDM denoises inputs at multiple resolutions jointly and shares features and parameters between different resolution levels, enabling efficient training and optimization of high-resolution generation. MDM outperforms existing methods in terms of convergence speed and generation quality. The core idea behind MDM is to perform a joint diffusion process over multiple resolutions using a NestedUNet architecture with skip-connections and computation blocks. MDM employs a progressive training schedule, starting with low-resolution models and gradually adding higher-resolution inputs and outputs, improving training efficiency and quality. Ablation studies show that progressive training, nesting levels, and the weight of classifier-free guidance (CFG) affect MDM's performance. Overall, MDM is a powerful framework for high-resolution image and video synthesis, with potential for further improvement through different weight sharing architectures and optimization strategies.

Matryoshka Diffusion Models (MDM) is an end-to-end framework for high-resolution image and video synthesis. Traditional diffusion models face challenges in generating high-resolution images due to computational and optimization issues. MDM addresses these challenges by introducing a multi-resolution diffusion process and a NestedUNet architecture. The multi-resolution diffusion process denoises inputs at multiple resolutions jointly, while the NestedUNet architecture shares features and parameters between different resolution levels. This allows for efficient training and optimization of high-resolution generation. MDM has been evaluated on various benchmarks, including class-conditioned image generation, high-resolution text-to-image, and text-to-video applications. The results show that MDM achieves strong zero-shot generalization and produces high-quality images and videos. It outperforms existing methods such as cascaded diffusion models (CDM) and latent diffusion models (LDM) in terms of convergence speed and generation quality.
The core idea behind MDM is to perform a joint diffusion process over multiple resolutions using a NestedUNet architecture. The NestedUNet architecture consists of skip-connections and computation blocks, which preserve fine-grained input information. The computations for different resolutions are shared, allowing for efficient training and optimization. MDM also employs a progressive training schedule, starting with low-resolution diffusion models and gradually adding higher-resolution inputs and outputs. This approach improves training efficiency and quality.
MDM has been evaluated on various tasks, including class-conditioned image generation, text-to-image generation, and text-to-video generation. The experiments show that MDM can generate high-resolution images without relying on cascaded or latent diffusion. The results demonstrate strong zero-shot capabilities and high performance in terms of Fre?chet Inception Distance (FID) and CLIP scores. MDM achieves comparable results to existing state-of-the-art approaches.
Ablation studies have been conducted to analyze the effects of progressive training, nesting levels, and the trade-off between FID and CLIP scores. The results show that progressive training improves convergence speed, increasing the nesting levels improves convergence, and there is a trade-off between FID and CLIP scores that can be adjusted by varying the weight of classifier-free guidance (CFG).
In conclusion, MDM is a powerful framework for high-resolution image and video synthesis. It addresses the challenges of generating high-resolution content by employing a multi-resolution diffusion process and a NestedUNet architecture. The experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of MDM in various generative tasks and its ability to produce high-quality results. Further research can explore different weight sharing architectures and optimization strategies to improve MDM's performance.
