CogVideoX-Fun-V1.5-Reward-LoRAs

Introduction

We explore the Reward Backpropagation technique ^{1 2} to optimized the generated videos by CogVideoX-Fun-V1.5 for better alignment with human preferences. We provide the following pre-trained models (i.e. LoRAs) along with the training script. You can use these LoRAs to enhance the corresponding base model as a plug-in or train your own reward LoRA.

For more details, please refer to our GitHub repo.

Prompt	CogVideoX-Fun-V1.5-5B	CogVideoX-Fun-V1.5-5B HPSv2.1 Reward LoRA	CogVideoX-Fun-V1.5-5B MPS Reward LoRA
A panda eats bamboo while a monkey swings from branch to branch
A penguin waddles on the ice, a camel treks by
Elderly artist with a white beard painting on a white canvas
Crystal cake shimmering beside a metal apple

The above test prompts are from T2V-CompBench. All videos are generated with lora weight 0.7.

Quick Start

We provide a simple inference code to run CogVideoX-Fun-V1.5-5b-InP with its HPS2.1 reward LoRA.

import torch
from diffusers import CogVideoXDDIMScheduler

from cogvideox.models.transformer3d import CogVideoXTransformer3DModel
from cogvideox.pipeline.pipeline_cogvideox_inpaint import CogVideoX_Fun_Pipeline_Inpaint
from cogvideox.utils.lora_utils import merge_lora
from cogvideox.utils.utils import get_image_to_video_latent, save_videos_grid

model_path = "alibaba-pai/CogVideoX-Fun-V1.5-5b-InP"
lora_path = "alibaba-pai/CogVideoX-Fun-V1.5-Reward-LoRAs/CogVideoX-Fun-V1.5-5b-InP-HPS2.1.safetensors"
lora_weight = 0.7

prompt = "Pig with wings flying above a diamond mountain"
sample_size = [512, 512]
video_length = 85

transformer = CogVideoXTransformer3DModel.from_pretrained_2d(model_path, subfolder="transformer").to(torch.bfloat16)
scheduler = CogVideoXDDIMScheduler.from_pretrained(model_path, subfolder="scheduler")
pipeline = CogVideoX_Fun_Pipeline_Inpaint.from_pretrained(
    model_path, transformer=transformer, scheduler=scheduler, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
)
pipeline.enable_model_cpu_offload()
pipeline = merge_lora(pipeline, lora_path, lora_weight)

generator = torch.Generator(device="cuda").manual_seed(42)
input_video, input_video_mask, _ = get_image_to_video_latent(None, None, video_length=video_length, sample_size=sample_size)
sample = pipeline(
    prompt,
    num_frames = video_length,
    negative_prompt = "bad detailed",
    height = sample_size[0],
    width = sample_size[1],
    generator = generator,
    guidance_scale = 7.0,
    num_inference_steps = 50,
    video = input_video,
    mask_video = input_video_mask,
).videos

save_videos_grid(sample, "samples/output.mp4", fps=8)

Limitations

1. We observe after training to a certain extent, the reward continues to increase, but the quality of the generated videos does not further improve. The model trickly learns some shortcuts (by adding artifacts in the background) to increase the reward (i.e., reward hacking).
2. Currently, there is still a lack of suitable preference models for video generation. Directly using image preference models cannot evaluate preferences along the temporal dimension (such as dynamism and consistency). Further more, We find using image preference models leads to a decrease in the dynamism of generated videos. Although this can be mitigated by computing the reward using only the first frame of the decoded video, the impact still persists.
