Introduction to video broadcasting models and calculation challenges
Diffusion models have made impressive progress in the generation of high -quality coherent videos, based on their success in image synthesis. However, the management of the additional temporal dimension in the videos considerably increases calculation requests, especially since self-tension evolves badly with the length of sequence. This makes it difficult to train or perform these models effectively on long videos. Attempts such as sparse videogers use attention to accelerate inference, but they have trouble with precision and generalization during training. Other methods replace the attention of SoftMax with linear alternatives, although these often require significant architectural changes. Interestingly, the decomposition of the natural energy of signals over time in physics inspires new more effective modeling strategies.
Evolution of attention mechanisms in video synthesis
The first video models extended 2D architectures by incorporating temporal components, but more recent approaches, such as said and latte, improve spatial-temporal modeling through advanced attention mechanisms. While dense 3D attention reaches advanced performance, its calculation cost increases quickly with video length, which makes the generation of long costly videos. Techniques such as distillation, quantification and sparse attention help reduce this burden, but often neglect the unique structure of video data. Although alternatives such as linear or hierarchical attention improve efficiency, they generally find it difficult to maintain details or evolve effectively in practice.
Introduction to the disintegration of spatio-temporal energy and to radial attention
MIT researchers, NVIDIA, Princeton, UC Berkeley, Stanford and First Intelligence have identified a phenomenon in video diffusion models called decomposition of spatio-temporal energyWhere the attention scores between tokens decrease as the spatial or temporal distance increases, reflecting how signals are naturally fading. Motivated by this, they proposed radial attention, a sparse attention mechanism with complexity O (n log n). He uses a static attention mask where chips mainly deal with those nearby, with the narrowed window over time. This allows pre-formed models to generate videos up to four times longer, reducing the training costs of 4.4 times and the inference time of 3.7 times, while preserving video quality.
Sparse attention using principles of energy disintegration
Radial attention is based on the insight that attention scores in video models decrease with the increase in spatial and temporal distance, a phenomenon known as spatio-temporal energy disintegration. Instead of taking care of all chips also, the radial attention strategically reduces the calculation where attention is lower. It introduces a sparse attention mask which is exponentially disintegrated towards the outside in space and time, preserving only the most relevant interactions. This results in a complexity O (N log n), which makes it much faster and more effective than dense attention. In addition, with a minimum fine adjustment using Lora adapters, pre-formulated models can be adapted to generate much longer and effectively longer videos.
Evaluation between video broadcasting models
The radial attention is evaluated on three main models of text diffusion in video: MOCHI 1, HUNYUANVIDEO and WAN2.1, demonstrating both speed and quality improvements. Compared to the existing sparse attention bases, such as SVG and Poweratation, radial attention offers better perceptual quality and significant calculation gains, including up to 3.7 times a faster inference and a 4.4 -time training cost for prolonged videos. It effectively evolves at 4 x longer video lengths and maintains compatibility with existing loras, including those in style. Above all, Lora ended up with radial attention surpasses the complete fine adjustment in certain cases, demonstrating its efficiency and efficiency of resources for a high quality high quality vacuum generation.
Conclusion: Long and effective long video generation
In conclusion, radial attention is a clear attention mechanism designed to effectively manage long video generation in diffusion models. Inspired by the observed decline in attention scores with the increase in spatial and temporal distances, a phenomenon that researchers call the radial attention to decay of spatio-temporal energy, this approach imitates natural decrease to reduce calculation. It uses a static attention model with exponentially narrowing windows, reaching faster performance up to 1.9 times and supporting videos up to 4 times longer. With a fine adjustment based on Lora, it considerably reduces training (4.4 ×) and inference costs (of 3.7 ×), while preserving video quality on several peak diffusion models.
