Reading the paper, what's interesting is that they really build upon text-to-image models. Instead of generating 1 image with diffusion model, they generate 16, and then use several upsampling/interpolation methods to increase the resolution/framerate. For the text-image model, they use the DALL-E 2 architecture, so in theory just switching to a latent diffusion model (like stable diffusion) would boost training/inference cost of the model
The shortcoming is that, since they don't use any video/text annotation (just image/text pairs), complex temporal prompts would probably not work, something which require multiple steps like "a bear scoring a goal, then doing the Ronaldo celebration"
- kitx 4y agoOne can imagine that resolving this will require a separate model to construct a timeline/keyframe series from a text description then interpolate between them. Fascinating times, either way this is allegedly being open–sourced, so I'm hopeful others will be able to build on top.
- lairv 4y agoI wouldn't have thought we'd have these text-to-video models before the end of this year, so we might actually not be that far from minutes-long video generation
