  • Imagen is a text-to-image diffusion model focused on photorealism and deep language understanding.
  • It leverages large transformer language models for text comprehension and diffusion models for high-fidelity image generation.
  • The key discovery is the effectiveness of large language models pretrained on text-only data for encoding text in image synthesis.
  • Imagen achieves a top FID score of 7.27 on COCO dataset without being trained on it.
  • It outperforms other text-to-image models in human rater preferences for sample quality and image-text alignment.
  • Imagen uses frozen T5-XXL encoder for text embedding and conditional diffusion models for image generation.
  • This model showcases the importance of scaling text encoder size over diffusion model size.
