[DreamBooth](https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.12242) is a method to personalize text2image models like stable diffusion given just a few(3~5) images of a subject.
The `train_dreambooth.py` script shows how to implement the training procedure and adapt it for stable diffusion.
## Running locally
### Installing the dependencies
Before running the scripts, make sure to install the library's training dependencies:
And initialize an [🤗Accelerate](https://github.com/huggingface/accelerate/) environment with:
```bash
accelerate config
```
### Dog toy example
You need to accept the model license before downloading or using the weights. In this example we'll use model version `v1-4`, so you'll need to visit [its card](https://huggingface.co/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4), read the license and tick the checkbox if you agree.
You have to be a registered user in 🤗 Hugging Face Hub, and you'll also need to use an access token for the code to work. For more information on access tokens, please refer to [this section of the documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/security-tokens).
Run the following command to authenticate your token
```bash
huggingface-cli login
```
If you have already cloned the repo, then you won't need to go through these steps. You can simple remove the `--use_auth_token` arg from the following command.

Now let's get our dataset. Download images from [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BO_dyz-p65qhBRRMRA4TbZ8qW4rB99JZ) and save them in a directory. This will be our training data.
Prior-preservation is used to avoid overfitting and language-drift. Refer to the paper to learn more about it. For prior-preservation we first generate images using the model with a class prompt and then use those during training along with our data.
Once you have trained a model using above command, the inference can be done simply using the `StableDiffusionPipeline`. Make sure to include the `identifier`(e.g. sks in above example) in your prompt.
