Generative Modeling Algorithms for Unconditional MNIST Generation

This repository serves as an educational resource, providing implementations of various generative modeling algorithms for unconditional image generation on the MNIST dataset. Each algorithm is implemented in a separate trainer class within the trainers module, allowing for easy comparison and study of different approaches.

Repository Outline

  • networks/: Contains model architectures used by the trainers.
  • trainers/: Implements various generative modeling algorithms for MNIST generation.
  • main.py: Script to run training and sampling for selected models.
  • README.md: This file, providing an overview and citations.

Usage

To run the training and sampling for a specific model:

python main.py --model <model_name> [additional arguments]

Replace <model_name> with one of the implemented algorithms (e.g., ddpm, edm, rf, etc.). Use --help to see all available options.
