Description

Hi, thanks for this great work!
We try to train the model to inpaint, followed your instructions to generate prompts from BLIP and accumulate grad. Now we use a batchsize of 4 x grad accumulation of 16, but the loss just fluctuated over time and never went down. This is the loss curve:

And as a result, the output does not match the input part either. It has ok quality on its own, though.
I was considering,

  1. if I modify the DDPM pipeline, the output result(from noise, sample 50 DDIM steps) could be more aligned with input, do you have any suggestions? Also,
  2. it still does not solve the training loss problem where time steps are randomly sampled.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported inpainting training setup: batch size 4, gradient accumulation 16, BLIP-generated prompts, and randomly sampled timesteps. Inspect the DDPM pipeline and 50-step DDIM sampling behavior, then compare training loss and input/output alignment against the report. Done means the cause of the fluctuating loss and unmatched input is identified and a validated correction is documented.
