Eaton,
Hannah E. Eaton nee Gatchell
Spirit of Democracy,
Death has again been in our midst and called to her eternal
home in heaven one of our oldest and most highly esteemed citizens, Mrs. Hannah
E. Eaton, nee Gatchell. Her death occurred at the
home of her son, D.C. Eaton of Allegheny,
Services were held at the house on Sunday after which the
remains were brought Monday to the residence of L.D. Eaton, her oldest son, who
resides at this place.
Such a gift had nature in her bounty bestowed on the
subject of this sketch that she was universally loved by all and although her
earthy destiny was sunk to the dust and her glories faculties trodden under
earth, yet the full of inborn riches of loves to all living, will never fade
away as long as her acquaintances and friends retain the faculty of remembrance
until all should be confined within the bounds which nature has assigned.
The deceased was born in
She was a good woman and careful in training her children,
and was always at the post of duty in family career. The recollections of the
Graysville citizens of her susceptibility from the first will abide to the last
with them in affection. She did faithfully whatsoever duties were enjoined upon
her reasoning faculties to the last when she valiantly passed the threshold of existance.
On the 27th day of April 1848, she was led to
the marriage altar by David Eaton, who shared her joys and sorrows through the
days of her youth, on toward the autumn of life, but preceded her to the grave
The funeral services took place from the
residence of L. D. Eaton on Tuesday at 2 p.m. and was conducted by Rev.
John Cooper. She leaves one sister, Mrs. David Eaton of Greenbrier, two sons
and a host of friends and relatives to mourn her loss.
The pale robed messenger of death,
Came with the summons, sad and drear;
And called away with silent breath,
Our nearest friend, our mother
dear.
.
Farewell dear mother, sweet thy rest,
Weary with years and warn with pain;
Farewell, till in some happy place,
We shall behold thy face again.
.
Once more thou cherished one,
Whom angels bands are hovering near;
Come take us home when life is done,
To part no more with mother
dear.

But the ills of this life for our Thelma Belle,
Have been changed for the bliss which

Her voice no more on earth we ll hear;
Until we cross the mystic river,
Where the skies are ever clear.

William Myers Fulton died at his home near Woodsfield,
He leaves a wife, four sons and five daughters to mourn his
departure.
In the life of a kind and affectionate husband and father,
they have the consoling memory of a godly character and of a Christian example
to bind them to their father s God.
Early in youth, Mr. Fulton gave his attention to the means
of grace, and became a member of Pleasant ridge church for which he had a
particular and affectionate regard. This was the church of his father and
mother, who ripe in years and in Christian faith, still survive him-his father
being for many long years an elder. Mr.  Faithful in the discharge of his duties to
his home, to his church, and to the community, he showed himself a living
epistle known and read of men. He was conservative in opinion, but liberal and
forebearing in spirit. He was loved and respected by
all who knew him. A splendid index to his character is found in words which
fell quietly from the lips of one who knew him best. As his aged father looking
tenderly, and for the last time, into the face of his sleeping son, without
intending his words should be heard, remarked: William was always an obedient
son. The grace of obedience lies at the base of a well-built Christian
manhood. Such characters have the promise of acceptance with God. It is a marked
loss to any community when such a life is removed from it. It is like the
taking down of a lighthouse from the coast of a raging sea; the blotting out of
a guiding star in the night. But for him, we sorrow not as those who have no
hope; for he sleeps in Jesus; and it is written, Blessed are the dead which
die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them.
May the God of all consolation, comfort, the hearts of
the bereaved.

Spirit of Democracy,
Mrs. Elizabeth Gibson, nee McVay,
was born
She was converted in her early life, joining the M.E.
church and was a member at her death. It is indeed hard for us to pay
appropriate tribute to the memory of one whose loss is so fresh and poignant a
grief to all the good people of the community. There are many ways of exerting
an influence for good. Some do it by a boundless nervous energy, by a force
argument, by strength
of will; others perform the same service to the community by a quiet
perverseness, a constant helpfulness which sometimes is imperceptible on
account of its very constancy, and the force and strength of which is only
realized when it is missing. It was this quiet, far reaching influence for
good, which Elizabeth Gibson exerted in this community, and many there are who
will miss her gentle charity, her helpfulness, hopefulness, and the kindness of
a disposition which showed itself only in kind and cheery deeds. Her friendship
was warm and lasting. From her home she dearly loved, she reached out with a
hand always overflowing with charity and love for those she came in contact
with. Her last illness was only of a few days which her husband only knew of
the serious nature of her disease, but he bore the grief alone in her presence.
He was always cheerful, full of hope, kindness and love.
It is impossible to tell of the grief of those who had
borne the brunt of the battle for life with her and had failed, but they have
the consolation it was not their fault. Her physician, Dr. McVay
of Summerfield, who gave her medical aid during her sickness and whose
faithfulness and kindness went far beyond the requirements of the professional
code and whose whole heart has been engrossed in the struggle to preserve the
life that has gone, shall never be forgotten.
Her remains were laid to rest
in Swazey cemetery Monday morning, June 5, amid a bed
of flowers that was kindly provided by her friends. A large concourse of
relatives and friends were present. Rev. J.L. Neeley
conducted the funeral services which were very impressive. That with deep
sympathy for the deceased, the writer expresses his hope that even so great a
loss to us all, may be overruled for good by Him who doeth all things well.

Bula, the seventh born child came
to bless and brighten the home on the 8th day of August 1903, and at
the time of her death she was 1 year, 5 months and 5 days old.
During her brief existence on earth this child, by her
sweet and winsome disposition won her way into many hearts. She was both
beautiful and intelligent and was greatly beloved by her parents, whose grief
at the death of their little daughter was very pathetic and drew tears from the
eyes of all who were present at the funeral ceremonies and his address to the
parents and friends were both beautiful and impressive. Bula s
mission on earth was soon ended, but she accomplished while here. Her brief
life was not given in vain for the wealth of love bestowed upon her while here
will endure throughout eternity and will serve as a lead star to draw the
hearts of her parents heavenward. Bula will be sadly
missed in the home where her bright presence gave us much sunshine. Her sweet
voice will be heard no more calling to papa, her little patting feet following
mamma from room to room are stilled in death.

Although little Bula has gone from earth to heaven there is a holy spot in
the hearts that loved her in which her image will ever be enshrined, the love
her spirit home away was not for death, it was a treasure removed to heaven. Eddy

Spirit of Democracy,
Amidst the busy cares of life we pause to briefly record,
but with sad heart, the death of our little friend and sister in Christ, Fannie
S. Hart, the oldest child of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Hart, who resides at Neffs.
Sister Fannie was born at St. Clairsville
March 2, 1891, and on the 28th day of February, 1905, after a weary
journey of fourteen years, her gentle spirit took its flight. She was sick less
than two weeks, but during that time her suffering was intense. Every effort
possible was made to keep the frail form with us; tenderly and lovingly her
friends administered to her every want; fond parents brought around her all the
comforts and medical skill in their power, but of no avail. The Father had
called her and she must go! She must leave this world of sin and sickness.
Although a child she realized she could not stay here always, and wisely
prepared to meet her God. On the 7th day of December, she confessed
her faith in Christ and was baptized by H.R. Cash. Her weary journey has ended.
The house of this tabernacle in which she dwelled, has
been dissolved, and, we believe, she has gone to live with her Lord in that
home not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
Words cannot express the loneliness that reigns in that
home, Fannie s
place is vacant. She is where:
You cannot see her happy face,
You cannot hear her call,
For she has gone to that better land
And there awaits you all.
She leaves to mourn her departure a father, mother, two
sisters, one brother and grandmother, besides a host of relatives and friends.

The services were conducted by Elder Joseph A. Hines of the
The unusually large attendance at the funeral services and
the floral offerings which were plentiful and beautiful, attest to universal
love and high esteem in which little Fannie was held. May the peace of our
heavenly Father be with the bereaved.
Hartshorn, Eugene B. Hartshorn
Spirit of Democracy,
Once more has that unwelcome guest, death, visited the home
of Eugene Hartshorn and taken from it the husband and father. Eugene B.
Hartshorn was born on the ridge that bore his name, in
About six months ago his illness began with pneumonia which
later developed into consumption and took him from this world which he loved.
Though it is hard to die so young yet through it all realizing the long life,
the happiness, the grand future, the great possibilities for doing good which
might have been in store for him, he was the most patient of men, never
complaining, never uttering a word in protest against his hard lot, but quietly
and joyously resigning himself to his fate, as every true Christian should. His
last day on earth was spent in singing and prayer. He gave every
evidence that he had nothing to fear in dying, when asked if he was
feeling any better he said: I am going just as fast as I can and I care not
how soon; all that worries me is leaving my poor wife and little children. His
relatives and friends have that sweet consolation.
The deceased was a son of James Hartshorn and was married
to Lizzie Gardner
The deceased was a member of the Christian church and the
Sons of Veterans.

Jacob Willison of the Hartshorn church. Services at the cemetery by the Sons of Veterans. A Friend

On Sunday, the 16th day of July, 1905, after an
illness of twelve long months the gentle, but tired and weary spirit of Mrs.
Maria Hartshorn left this world of care and sorrow, sickness and disease, and
went to join her parents and brother in that beautiful home not made with hands
and where sorrows come no more. All that the best medical skill and loving and
willing hands could do was done to restore to health the beloved one but the
hand of death angel was beckoning from afar to her and bidding her come to him
in that beautiful language; All ye that labor and are having laden come unto
me and I will give you the rest.

and two girls) of Isaac and Louisa Thomas; was born in

everybody. The remains were taken to the Hartshorn church on Monday afternoon
for funeral services and was taken from there to the
Sloan cemetery and laid to rest, there to await the resurrection.

The most horrible accident that has happened since the
advent of the oil industry in this community occurred Wednesday night, January 18th , about 11 o clock at the Draper well No.1
about 1 miles west of Lewisville when two men, Sherman Barker of near
Burkhart and Mr. Holden of Sycamore Valley were blown into eternity by the
exploding of the boiler.
The well was being pumped by tower, James Slack working
morning tower and John Holden the afternoon tower. Barker was learning under
Holden. But a short time before the time stated above, Slack who lived but a
few hundred yards from the well, was preparing to go on tower when he heard the
explosion. He hurried to the scene and there found that the boiler had
disappeared, but from the vapor arising in the adjoining field he knew the
boiler had landed there, 136 feet from the original location. On arriving at
the scene of disaster he found Barker first, lying about fifty feet from the
boiler and Holden about 100 feet in the same direction.  Holden was
not disfigured but somewhat scalded and his breast was caved in.
B.F. Butt, justice of the peace, was notified and an
inquest was held. The verdict was that deceased came to their death by the
boiler exploding; cause of explosion unknown.
Barker was removed to his home and Holden to the residence
of S.D. Wise where they were prepared for burial. On Thursday morning Holden
was taken to his home near

Leonard Jackson 2nd obit
Spirit of Democracy,
The subject of this sketch was born in Center township,
He was united in marriage to Hannah Gray,
He has left to mourn his departure, his aged companion who
has shared the hardships and toil and sadness and bereavements of this life all
these years; also one son, W. H. Jackson of Woodsfield, and one daughter, Mary
C., wife of Albert Jackson of Griffith, Ohio, and eight grandchildren and one
great-grandchild and a host of neighbors and friends.
At the age of 18 he was converted and joined the M.E.
church and remained a faithful member until his death. One half of this family
have gone to compose the family above, the father, one son and one daughter are
left but they are all looking forward to the great reunion that will soon take
place when the entire family will meet where there will be no more good-byes
said.
The deceased was an official
member in the church for fifty-years; he was class leader for 30 years, and
nearly all the class that he lead preceded him to the other shore. What a happy
meeting that must have been when he hailed his old classmates where parting is
no more. His life as a Christian was worthy of imitation.
Some years ago his hearing
became defective so he could not hear common conversation, which kept him away
from the church to a great extent, but like the Apostle Paul he had fought a
good fight, he had kept the faith, and there was laid up for him a crown of
righteousness which he has gone to wear where he is free from all the cares and
troubles of this world.
As a farmer he was very
industrious and while he was not what we call a first class farmer, yet the
remark has often been made that Leonard Jackson s corn crib never run dry,
which was a true saying.
His remains were followed to
their last resting place by a very large concourse of friends,
more than fifty teams were in the procession.
The services were opened by
singing Rock of Ages, a scripture lesson was read by his pastor, Rev. A.D.
Holden and prayer by Rev. Dr. Wuestenberg of
Woodsfield. Then the audience listened to a very fine sermon by Rev. A.D. Holden
from the words found in the 5th verse of the 45th chapter
of Isaiah, the latter clause of the verse being used, after which his remains
were placed in the Moffett M.E. cemetery. S.

name was Evans being the daughter of Eli Evans now deceased. They were married
As his pastor Rev. Scott said at the tomb: You could
always depend upon him being ready to bear the cross, He had many other good
virtues and noble qualities. He was ambitious and this made him an active man.
He was governed almost wholly by his own judgement.
He led rather than followed. He was a man of strong conviction and yielded only
to reasons of the highest order. He was a plain man, genial and social, easily
approached hence his counsel, his advice, his aid, was
sought by many and by all found wisdom and satisfaction in his counsel room.
Like most of men, he too had his hobbies, and they were two. First, the church,
second, the Knights of Pythias; the first of which I
have already lightly touched. As to the second, he was an ardent and persistent
worker. He was a charter member of the Beallsville Lodge. He had long since attained
the highest honors of a local lodge by being elected Chancelor
Commander, Post-Chancellor, and being elected Representative of his home lodge
to attend the Grand Lodge at
Everywhere where he was known

Friday forenoon at
Spirit of Democracy,
The funeral of J.M. Jeffers, which took place last
Saturday, was attended by the largest number of people that ever followed the
remains of a townsman to his last resting place. The M.E. church, the largest
in the town, was packed, even standing room being taken, and half as many were
on the outside.  I repeat what I wrote in a former letter, that no one will be
missed more than he.
He was born in the immediate vicinity and for most of his
life having lived in this town, and being a prominent member of the M.E. church
and of the Knights of Pythias Order and official
member of both church and lodge, will suffice to verify the statement that he
will be greatly missed. But these are not the only places from which his
absence will have a telling effect. J.M. Jeffers was a man, a manly man, loved
and respected by all with whom he came in contact. None of a truth could say
aught against J.M. Jeffers. Everyone with whom he associated was better for
having been with him. His conversation was pure, his character was unsuited and
no one could be with him without feeling the loving touch of a pure and chaste
life with which he was possessed.
All the children of the town loved Joe, as he was
familiarly called. Being superintendent of the Sunday school brought him in
close touch with the little ones and it was his delight to be with them and to
do little sets of kindness in which they were so well pleased. Oh, how sad were
their little hearts as they looked upon the face for the last time of him whom
they loved so well.

In this post, we will understand the basic components of a stable diffusion pipeline and their purpose. Later we will reconstruct StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained
function using these components. Let’s get started -
1 Introduction
Diffusion models as seen in the previous post can generate high-quality images. Stable diffusion models are a special kind of diffusion model called the Latent Diffusion model. They have first proposed in this paper High-Resolution Image Synthesis with Latent Diffusion Models. The original Diffusion model tends to consume a lot more memory, so latent diffusion models were created which can do the diffusion process in lower dimension space called Latent
Space. On a high level, diffusion models are machine learning models that are trained to denoise
random Gaussian noise step by step, to get the result i.e., image
. In latent diffusion
, the model is trained to do this same process in a lower dimension.
There are three main components in latent diffusion -
- A text encoder, in this case, a CLIP Text encoder
- An autoencoder, in this case, a Variational Auto Encoder also referred to as VAE
- A U-Net
Let’s dive into each of these components and understand their use in the diffusion process. The way I will be attempting to explain these components is by talking about them in the following three stages -
- The Basics: What goes in the component and what comes out of the component - This is an important, and key part of the top-down learning approach of understanding “the whole game”
- Deeper explanation using 🤗 code. - This part will provide more understanding of what the model produces using the code
- What’s their role in the Stable diffusion pipeline - This will build your intuition around how this component fits in the Stable diffusion process. This will help your intuition on the diffusion process
2 CLIP Text Encoder
2.1 Basics - What goes in and out of the component?
CLIP(Contrastive Language–Image Pre-training) text encoder takes the text as an input and generates text embeddings that are close in latent space as it may be if you would have encoded an image through a CLIP model.
2.2 Deeper explanation using 🤗 code
Any machine learning model doesn’t understand text data. For any model to understand text data, we need to convert this text into numbers that hold the meaning of the text, referred to as embeddings
. The process of converting a text to a number can be broken down into two parts -
1. Tokenizer - Breaking down each word into sub-words and then using a lookup table to convert them into a number
2. Token_To_Embedding Encoder - Converting those numerical sub-words into a representation that contains the representation of that text
Let’s look at it through code. We will start by importing the relevant artifacts.
Let’s initialize a prompt and tokenize it.
= ["a dog wearing hat"]
prompt =tokenizer(prompt, padding="max_length", max_length=tokenizer.model_max_length, truncation=True, return_tensors="pt")
tok print(tok.input_ids.shape)
tok
torch.Size([1, 77])
{'input_ids': tensor([[49406, 320, 1929, 3309, 3801, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407,
49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407,
49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407,
49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407,
49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407,
49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407,
49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407,
49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407, 49407]]), 'attention_mask': tensor([[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0]])}
A tokenizer
returns two objects in the form of a dictionary -
1. input_ids
- A tensor of size 1x77 as one prompt was passed and padded to 77 max length. 49406
is a start token, 320
is a token given to the word “a”, 1929
to the word dog, 3309
to the word wearing, 3801
to the word hat, and 49407
is the end of text token repeated till the pad length of 77.
2. attention_mask
- 1
representing an embedded value and 0
representing padding.
for token in list(tok.input_ids[0,:7]): print(f"{token}:{tokenizer.convert_ids_to_tokens(int(token))}")
49406:<|startoftext|>
320:a</w>
1929:dog</w>
3309:wearing</w>
3801:hat</w>
49407:<|endoftext|>
49407:<|endoftext|>
So, let’s look at the Token_To_Embedding Encoder
which takes the input_ids
generated by the tokenizer and converts them into embeddings -
= text_encoder(tok.input_ids.to("cuda"))[0].half()
emb print(f"Shape of embedding : {emb.shape}")
emb
Shape of embedding : torch.Size([1, 77, 768])
tensor([[[-0.3887, 0.0229, -0.0522, ..., -0.4902, -0.3066, 0.0673],
[ 0.0292, -1.3242, 0.3074, ..., -0.5264, 0.9766, 0.6655],
[-1.5928, 0.5063, 1.0791, ..., -1.5283, -0.8438, 0.1597],
...,
[-1.4688, 0.3113, 1.1670, ..., 0.3755, 0.5366, -1.5049],
[-1.4697, 0.3000, 1.1777, ..., 0.3774, 0.5420, -1.5000],
[-1.4395, 0.3137, 1.1982, ..., 0.3535, 0.5400, -1.5488]]],
device='cuda:0', dtype=torch.float16, grad_fn=<NativeLayerNormBackward0>)
As we can see above, each tokenized input of size 1x77 has now been translated to 1x77x768 shape embedding. So, each word got represented in a 768-dimensional space.
2.3 What’s their role in the Stable diffusion pipeline
Stable diffusion only uses a CLIP trained encoder for the conversion of text to embeddings. This becomes one of the inputs to the U-net. On a high level, CLIP uses an image encoder and text encoder to create embeddings that are similar in latent space. This similarity is more precisely defined as a Contrastive objective. For more information on how CLIP is trained, please refer to this Open AI blog.
3 VAE - Variational Auto Encoder
3.1 Basics - What goes in and out of the component?
An autoencoder contains two parts -
1. Encoder
takes an image as input and converts it into a low dimensional latent representation
2. Decoder
takes the latent representation and converts it back into an image
As we can see above, the Encoder acts like a compressor that squishes the image into lower dimensions and the decoder recreates the original image back from the compressed version.
3.2 Deeper explanation using 🤗 code
Let’s start looking at VAE through code. We will start by importing the required libraries and defining some helper functions.
Code
## To import an image from a URL
from fastdownload import FastDownload
## Imaging library
from PIL import Image
from torchvision import transforms as tfms
## Basic libraries
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline
## Loading a VAE model
from diffusers import AutoencoderKL
= AutoencoderKL.from_pretrained("CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4", subfolder="vae", torch_dtype=torch.float16).to("cuda")
vae
def load_image(p):
'''
Function to load images from a defined path
'''
return Image.open(p).convert('RGB').resize((512,512))
def pil_to_latents(image):
'''
Function to convert image to latents
'''
= tfms.ToTensor()(image).unsqueeze(0) * 2.0 - 1.0
init_image = init_image.to(device="cuda", dtype=torch.float16)
init_image = vae.encode(init_image).latent_dist.sample() * 0.18215
init_latent_dist return init_latent_dist
def latents_to_pil(latents):
'''
Function to convert latents to images
'''
= (1 / 0.18215) * latents
latents with torch.no_grad():
= vae.decode(latents).sample
image = (image / 2 + 0.5).clamp(0, 1)
image = image.detach().cpu().permute(0, 2, 3, 1).numpy()
image = (image * 255).round().astype("uint8")
images = [Image.fromarray(image) for image in images]
pil_images return pil_images
Let’s download an image from the internet.
= FastDownload().download('https://lafeber.com/pet-birds/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Scarlet-Macaw-2.jpg')
p = load_image(p)
img print(f"Dimension of this image: {np.array(img).shape}")
img
Dimension of this image: (512, 512, 3)
Now let’s compress this image by using the VAE encoder, we will be using the pil_to_latents
helper function.
= pil_to_latents(img)
latent_img print(f"Dimension of this latent representation: {latent_img.shape}")
Dimension of this latent representation: torch.Size([1, 4, 64, 64])
As we can see how the VAE compressed a 3 x 512 x 512 dimension image into a 4 x 64 x 64 image. That’s a compression ratio of 48x! Let’s visualize these four channels of latent representations.
= plt.subplots(1, 4, figsize=(16, 4))
fig, axs for c in range(4):
0][c].detach().cpu(), cmap='Greys') axs[c].imshow(latent_img[
This latent representation in theory should capture a lot of information about the original image. Let’s use the decoder on this representation to see what we get back. For this, we will use the latents_to_pil
helper function.
= latents_to_pil(latent_img)
decoded_img 0] decoded_img[
As we can see from the figure above VAE decoder was able to recover the original image from a 48x compressed latent representation. That’s impressive!
3.3 What’s their role in the Stable diffusion pipeline
Stable diffusion can be done without the VAE component but the reason we use VAE is to reduce the computational time to generate High-resolution images. The latent diffusion models can perform diffusion in this latent space produced by the VAE encoder and once we have our desired latent outputs produced by the diffusion process, we can convert them back to the high-resolution image by using the VAE decoder. To get a better intuitive understanding of Variation Autoencoders and how they are trained, read this blog by Irhum Shafkat.
4 U-Net
4.1 Basics - What goes in and out of the component?
The U-Net model takes two inputs -
1. Noisy latent
or Noise
- Noisy latents are latents produced by a VAE encoder (in case an initial image is provided) with added noise or it can take pure noise input in case we want to create a random new image based solely on a textual description
2. Text embeddings
- CLIP-based embedding generated by input textual prompts
The output of the U-Net model is the predicted noise residual which the input noisy latent contains. In other words, it predicts the noise which is subtracted from the noisy latents to return the original de-noised latents.
4.2 Deeper explanation using 🤗 code
Let’s start looking at U-Net through code. We will start by importing the required libraries and initiating our U-Net model.
from diffusers import UNet2DConditionModel, LMSDiscreteScheduler
## Initializing a scheduler
= LMSDiscreteScheduler(beta_start=0.00085, beta_end=0.012, beta_schedule="scaled_linear", num_train_timesteps=1000)
scheduler ## Setting number of sampling steps
51)
scheduler.set_timesteps(
## Initializing the U-Net model
= UNet2DConditionModel.from_pretrained("CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4", subfolder="unet", torch_dtype=torch.float16).to("cuda") unet
As you may have noticed from code above, we not only imported unet
but also a scheduler
. The purpose of a schedular
is to determine how much noise to add to the latent at a given step in the diffusion process. Let’s visualize the schedular function -
Code
plt.plot(scheduler.sigmas)"Sampling step")
plt.xlabel("sigma")
plt.ylabel("Schedular routine")
plt.title( plt.show()
The diffusion process follows this sampling schedule where we start with high noise and gradually denoise the image. Let’s visualize this process -
Code
= torch.randn_like(latent_img) # Random noise
noise = plt.subplots(2, 3, figsize=(16, 12))
fig, axs for c, sampling_step in enumerate(range(0,51,10)):
= scheduler.add_noise(latent_img, noise, timesteps=torch.tensor([scheduler.timesteps[sampling_step]]))
encoded_and_noised //3][c%3].imshow(latents_to_pil(encoded_and_noised)[0])
axs[c//3][c%3].set_title(f"Step - {sampling_step}") axs[c
Let’s see how a U-Net removes the noise from the image. Let’s start by adding some noise to the image.
Code
= scheduler.add_noise(latent_img, noise, timesteps=torch.tensor([scheduler.timesteps[40]]))
encoded_and_noised 0] latents_to_pil(encoded_and_noised)[
Let’s run through U-Net and try to de-noise this image.
## Unconditional textual prompt
= [""]
prompt
## Using clip model to get embeddings
= tokenizer(prompt, padding="max_length", max_length=tokenizer.model_max_length, truncation=True, return_tensors="pt")
text_input
with torch.no_grad():
= text_encoder(text_input.input_ids.to("cuda"))[0]
text_embeddings
## Using U-Net to predict noise
= torch.cat([encoded_and_noised.to("cuda").float()]).half()
latent_model_input with torch.no_grad():
= unet(latent_model_input, 40, encoder_hidden_states=text_embeddings)["sample"]
noise_pred
## Visualize after subtracting noise
- noise_pred)[0] latents_to_pil(encoded_and_noised
As we can see above the U-Net output is clearer than the original noisy input passed.
4.3 What’s their role in the Stable diffusion pipeline
Latent diffusion uses the U-Net to gradually subtract noise in the latent space over several steps to reach the desired output. With each step, the amount of noise added to the latents is reduced till we reach the final de-noised output. U-Nets were first introduced by this paper for Biomedical image segmentation. The U-Net has an encoder and a decoder which are comprised of ResNet blocks. The stable diffusion U-Net also has cross-attention layers to provide them with the ability to condition the output based on the text description provided. The Cross-attention layers are added to both the encoder and the decoder part of the U-Net usually between ResNet blocks. You can learn more about this U-Net architecture here.

Angular Translator helps you translating your Angular application.
Translation applications like this one are generally not specialized for a specific framework.
This application prefers to specialize in the translation of Angular applications only, so it can integrate perfectly with the framework.
The ng-xi18n Angular tool is responsible for extracting from the app sources the terms to translate. This tool creates a messages.xmb (or messages.xlf) file containing all the necessary information for the human translator to do his job.
Angular Translator gets this messages.xmb file and uses it at the reference for the terms that have to be translated. It is called the source file in the app.
In Angular Translator, you then have to declare the different file names where the different translations for specific languages will be stored. When you begin, you do not need to create these translation files, the app will do that for you. They all called the translations files in the app.
When you have finished translating for a specific language, you can export the translation file for this language and place it beside your source file in your sources repository. If you decide to work again on the translations for this same language, the translations you have made earlier will be extracted from this translation file.
When you update your app and add or remove terms to translate and regenerate the messages.xmb source file with ng-xi18n, you do not need to merge the differences to your translation files. Because Angular Translator gets the source file as the reference, it will handle correclty the terms removed or added.
First declare a new project in the application, with New Project... in the sidenav. You will have to declare some information for this new project:


Money Play. How should Red play 61?

(CorrectAnswer= 0/0, ErrorScore= 0)
Clearly Red must hit with the ace, 10/9*.
With five blots already Red’s position could collapse at any moment. This is a position where a modicum of caution has to be employed. Any play other than 9/3 with the six is just too big. The extra checker on the 3-pt is not ideal but it is still active. Red will still have four blots and White will be the favourite but, if Red can survive the next couple of rolls, he should have a playable game.

Probably the main, and most discussed, public policy issue in Mexico is poverty alleviation.
CONEVAL (Mexico’s National Council for Social Development Policy Evaluation) calculates that in 2018 41.9% of the
total population lived in poverty (roughly 52.4 million mexicans). Despite huge efforts, including a great number
of social programs through the years, poverty stills prevails at levels above 40%.
However, the concept of poverty comprises various components or dimensions, that is, it is a multi-dimensional
phenomenon that cannot be considered, solely and exclusively, by the goods and services that can be purchased in
the market (ie. income measurement alone).
The goal of this project is to familiarize yourself briefly with the concept of multidimensional poverty
measurement and its main difference with the normal income
measurements. But mostly,for you to see the prevailing context in Mexico, how it may seem poverty has remained
stagnant during six years, but how the internal
dynamics of the country (ie. how states evolve through time) determine the aggregate measure, as well as showing
that poverty is a geographically concentrated phenomenon in some sattes.
Scroll down to explore
Classical poverty measurement
Historically, the main indicator for measuring poverty was just a headcount of people who earned an income below a 'Poverty line'.Multidimensional measurement
CONEVAL defined a second dimension: Social Rights Deprivations. Based on six social rights: education, health, social security, housing, basic housing services and feeding. Combining this with monthly income measurement, CONEVAL defined 5 categories to classify the population:Extreme Poverty Evolution by State
Now let's start seeing the heterogeneity of poverty evolution inside Mexico, by looking at its states.Moderate Poverty Evolution by State
Unlike Extreme poverty, we can see a more hetrogeneous evolution of mdoerate poverty rates by states.Social Deprivations evolution by State
In terms of Social Deprivations vulnerability, we surprisingly see that one of the states with the lowest poverty levels, Baja California Sur, had the largest increase of population showing at least one social deprivation between 2012 and 2018.Income Vulnerability evolution by State
Kind of expected, we see that the northern states have the highest negative percentage change of population having a low income, but no social deprivations.
After looking at the broad heterogeneity across states for each of CONEVAL's poverty measurements, Now you can
check each state individually an look at their time evolution.
This will further extend the
understanding of how
complicated
the problem of multidimensional poverty is. While it's true that most of it seems to be focalized in some
states, the truth is that this has been a persisting
fact since many many years.
On the lower set of charts you can check the persistence for each of CONEVAL's Social Deprivations per state and

Plotting pupillometric data for exploration¶
It is crucial to validate preprocessing steps by visually inspecting the results using plots. Therefore, pypillometry
implements several plotting facilities that encourage active exploration of the dataset. Some of the plotting functions require a Jupyter-notebook with enable widgets (see Installation instructions) so that the plots can be changed interactively, others are purely matplotlib
-based.
[62]:
import sys
sys.path.insert(0,"..")
import pypillometry as pp
import pylab as plt ## access matplotlib functions
d=pp.PupilData.from_file("../data/test.pd")
faked=pp.create_fake_pupildata(ntrials=20)
Each PupilData
object has a default plot()
function that, by default, plots the complete signal at once.
[2]:
plt.figure(figsize=(15,5))
d.plot()
Often, the signal is too long to fit comfortably into one plot, therefore plot allows to specify a range by specifying the plot_range=
argument with a tuple
giving start end end of the plot. For longer recordings, it can be useful to specify the range in different time units by using units=
. pypillometry
supports ms
(milliseconds), sec
(seconds), min
(minutes) and h
(hours).
[3]:
plt.figure(figsize=(15,5))
plt.subplot(1,2,1)
d.plot((260, 280), units="sec")
plt.subplot(1,2,2)
d.plot((4.5, 4.7), units="min")
Note that the scale of the plots went all the way to zero because missing data is represented by 0
in the used eyetracker.
When we detect and interpolate blinks (see blinks-notebook), the scale is adjusted and detected blinks highlighted in red.
[4]:
## detect and interpolate blinks
d=d.blinks_detect()
d2=d.blinks_interp_mahot()
## plot results
plt.figure(figsize=(15,5))
plt.subplot(1,2,1)
d.plot((260, 280), units="sec")
plt.subplot(1,2,2)
d2.plot((260, 280), units="sec")
In order to enable interactive plotting, you can either use widget-based plotting in the jupyter notebook by using interactive=True
, or pop-out the plot in matplotlib
’s plotting window which allows zooming, moving etc.
[9]:
## produces plot with adjustable x-axis for exploring signal
d.plot(interactive=True)
[12]:
## pops out the plot in matplotlibs native plotting window
%matplotlib
d.plot()
Using matplotlib backend: MacOSX
[21]:
## reset to inline-plotting
%matplotlib inline
In case you are interested in modeling the signal (see notebook modeling pupillometric signal), the plot()
function allows to plot the different components (baseline and response-model) as well as the full model.
Furthermore, it is also possible to plot several datasets simultaneously using the module-level function plotpd()
.
By default, the signals are plotted into the same figure in different colors:
[71]:
pp.plotpd(d, d2)
By giving the additional argument subplots=True
, we can also plot them separately as above:
[72]:
pp.plotpd(d, d2, subplots=True)
There is also an interactive version plotpd_ia()
that produces a figure where the x-axis can be adjusted dynamically.
[73]:
pp.plotpd_ia(d, d2)
plot_segments()
¶
It is usally a good idea to browse through the whole pupillometric data before and after preprocessing. This can be useful for tweaking preprocessing parameters or for detecting gross artifacts. pypillometry
offers a function plot_segments()
, that produces as many plots as necessary (each displaying part of the data).
The default is to return a list of matplotlib
-Figure objects that can then manually be plotted/inspected.
[42]:
figs=d.plot_segments()
[43]:
for fig in figs:
display(fig)
The function also allows to specify a (multi-page) PDF-file to which the plots will be saved for later inspection:
[46]:
d.plot_segments(pdffile="/tmp/test.pdf");
> Writing PDF file '/tmp/test.pdf'
Another useful feature of this function is to compare the signals before and after preprocessing using the overlay=
argument:
[47]:
figs=d.plot_segments(overlay=d2)
display(figs[0])
blinks_plot()
¶
Blinks can be tricky to interpolate. To facilite the process, pypillometry
includes a function to plot all detected blinks. The function works similar to plot_segments()
, i.e., it returns a list of Figure-objects or allows saving to a PDF file. Each plot contains the index of the currently displayed blink which allows to identify and locate individual blinks in the full dataset.
[59]:
d.blinks_plot(nrow=7, ncol=4)
[59]:
[<Figure size 720x720 with 28 Axes>]
A special diagnostic plotting option for blinks is available in the blinks_interp_mahot()
function. When called with the argument plot=True
, it will produce plots similar to blinks_plot()
but including information used by the Mahot-algorithm implemented in this function (see API docs for details).
[58]:
d.blinks_interp_mahot(plot=True, plot_dim=(7,4));


RadialConstraint
Constrains Conv2D
kernel weights to be the same for each radius.
Inherits From: Constraint

For example, the desired output for the following 4-by-4 kernel::
kernel = [[v_00, v_01, v_02, v_03], [v_10, v_11, v_12, v_13], [v_20, v_21, v_22, v_23], [v_30, v_31, v_32, v_33]]
is this::
kernel = [[v_11, v_11, v_11, v_11], [v_11, v_33, v_33, v_11], [v_11, v_33, v_33, v_11], [v_11, v_11, v_11, v_11]]
This constraint can be applied to any Conv2D
layer version, including
Conv2DTranspose
and SeparableConv2D
, and with either "channels_last"
or
"channels_first"
data format. The method assumes the weight tensor is of
shape (rows, cols, input_depth, output_depth)
.
