Technology behind text to image generators
An overview of the techniques that make text-to-image generators possible and how advances in machine learning and the particular technique of diffusion are critical building blocks for artificial intelligence is shown.
Abstract
Purpose This column aims to provides an overview of the techniques that make text-to-image generators possible. Design/methodology/approach This column will be the first in a two-part series, exploring the impacts of text-to-image software with an emphasis on libraries. Findings It shows how advances in machine learning and the particular technique of diffusion are critical building blocks for artificial intelligence. Originality/value Understanding these technologies and large data sets, which are often scraped by public users, help information professionals understand how this software may further develop, as well as how to help guide their patrons.
