- Abstract summary: Diffusion-based image synthesis has attracted extensive attention recently.
ControlNet that uses image-based prompts exhibits powerful capability in image tasks such as canny edge detection and generates images well aligned with these prompts.
Recent context-learning approaches have improved its adaptability, but mainly for edge-based tasks, and rely on paired examples.
We introduce a novel Meta ControlNet method, which adopts the task-agnostic meta learning technique and features a new layer freezing design.

- Abstract: Diffusion-based image synthesis has attracted extensive attention recently.
In particular, ControlNet that uses image-based prompts exhibits powerful
capability in image tasks such as canny edge detection and generates images
well aligned with these prompts. However, vanilla ControlNet generally requires
extensive training of around 5000 steps to achieve a desirable control for a
single task. Recent context-learning approaches have improved its adaptability,
but mainly for edge-based tasks, and rely on paired examples. Thus, two
important open issues are yet to be addressed to reach the full potential of
ControlNet: (i) zero-shot control for certain tasks and (ii) faster adaptation
for non-edge-based tasks. In this paper, we introduce a novel Meta ControlNet
method, which adopts the task-agnostic meta learning technique and features a
new layer freezing design. Meta ControlNet significantly reduces learning steps
to attain control ability from 5000 to 1000. Further, Meta ControlNet exhibits
direct zero-shot adaptability in edge-based tasks without any finetuning, and
achieves control within only 100 finetuning steps in more complex non-edge
tasks such as Human Pose, outperforming all existing methods. The codes is

Controlling Text-to-Image Diffusion Models [21.379896810560282]
A popular approach is to use a controlling network, such as ControlNet, in combination with a pre-trained image generation model, such as Stable Diffusion.
In this work we propose a new controlling architecture, called ControlNet-XS, which does not suffer from this problem.
In contrast to ControlNet, our model needs only a fraction of parameters, and hence is about twice as fast during inference and training time.

We introduce Uni-ControlNet, a unified framework that allows for the simultaneous utilization of different local controls and global controls.
Unlike existing methods, Uni-ControlNet only requires the fine-tuning of two additional adapters upon frozen pre-trained text-to-image diffusion models.
Uni-ControlNet demonstrates its superiority over existing methods in terms of controllability, generation quality and composability.

We propose a meta-learning online control algorithm for the control setting.
We characterize its performance by textitmeta-regret, the average cumulative regret across the tasks.
We show that when the number of tasks are sufficiently large, our proposed approach achieves a meta-regret that is smaller by a factor $D/D*$ compared to an independent-learning online control algorithm.

Adaptive Task Adapting Sharing (TAPS) is a method for tuning a base model to a new task by adaptively modifying a small, task-specific subset of layers.
Compared to other methods, TAPS retains high accuracy on downstream tasks while introducing few task-specific parameters.
We evaluate our method on a suite of fine-tuning tasks and architectures (ResNet, DenseNet, ViT) and show that it achieves state-of-the-art performance while being simple to implement.

Meta-learning aims to quickly adapt models, such as neural networks, to perform new tasks.
We construct a controller and meta-train the controller using a latent context variable through a separate embedding neural network.
In both cases, our meta-learning algorithm adapts very quickly to new tasks, outperforming a regular DRL controller trained from scratch.

We study the problem of learning new tasks from a small, fixed number of examples, by meta-learning across static data from a set of previous tasks.
We find that meta-learning solves the full task set with fewer overall labels and greater cumulative performance, compared to standard supervised methods.
These results suggest that meta-learning is an important ingredient for building learning systems that continuously learn and improve over a sequence of problems.
