Dream Booth: Personalizing Generative AI Models

Dream Booth is a method that allows for personalizing generative AI models. By fine-tuning the weights of the model using a small dataset of images, Dream Booth enables the generation of novel images specific to a subject. The technique leverages large language models and diffusion models to preserve the subject's details and prompt-following abilities. The approach has been successful in generating personalized images of subjects in various styles, contexts, and poses. Dream Booth has been further extended through hyper Dream Booth, which incorporates hypernetworks to efficiently update the model weights. This method offers faster fine-tuning and better preservation of the model's properties.
