Abstract:
He talks about Imagen for text-to-image synthesis. Imagen has shown an unprecedented ability to represent and reflect text descriptions in high-fidelity images. It builds on the power of large transformer language models in encoding text and hinges on the strength of diffusion models for high-fidelity image generation. I will describe how text-to-image models have helped create an ecosystem of enthusiastic designers, artists, and researchers. He also concludes by discussing some recent work on image editing, 3d, and video generation.
