2. LITERATURE REVIEW
The field of AI-driven image generation has evolved significantly over the past decade. Early approaches in computer vision relied on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for image recognition and synthesis. However, the introductionofGenerativeAdversarialNetworks(GANs)by IanGoodfellowin2014markedabreakthroughingenerating realisticimagesfromrandomnoise.
Later,advancementsinTransformer-basedarchitecturesand self-supervised learning led to models that could generate imagesfromtextualdescriptions.Keydevelopmentsinclude:
2015 – Deep Convolutional GANs (DCGANs): Improved stability in GAN training for generating images.
2018 – BigGAN: Introduced large-scale image generationwithenhancedrealism.
2020 – CLIP (Contrastive Language–Image Pretraining): DevelopedbyOpenAI,CLIPenabled AI models to understand textual descriptions and matchthemwithimages.
2021 – DALL·E: OpenAI introduced DALL·E, a transformer-based model trained to generate imagesfromtextualpromptsusing GPT-3andCLIP techniques
2022 – DALL·E 2: Improvedresolution,text-image coherence, and photorealism in AI-generated content.
2023 – Stable Diffusion & MidJourney: Opensource and commercial models that enhanced accessibilityandcreativityinAI-generatedart.

METHODOLOGY 3.1 Flowchart of the System
3.2 How DALL·E Works
DALL·E is a Transformer-based model that extends the capabilitiesofGPT-3togenerateimagesfromtext.Itusesa combinationof autoregressive models, diffusionmodels, and CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining) to interprettextpromptsandcreateimages.
ThekeystepsinDALL·E’simagegenerationprocessare:
1. Text Encoding: Theinputtextpromptisprocessed using GPT-like tokenization to understand meaningandcontext.
2. LatentSpaceRepresentation: Themodelmapsthe text into a latent vector space to determine key imageattributes.
3. Image Generation: Using diffusion models, DALL·Esynthesizesanimagepixelbypixel,refining itovermultipleiterations.
4. CLIP-based Validation: Thegeneratedimagesare rankedbasedonhowwelltheymatchtheinputtext, ensuring semantic relevance
3.3 Dataset and Training Approach
Training Data: DALL·E was trained on LAION400M, OpenAI’s proprietary datasets, and largescaleimage-textpairscollectedfromtheinternet.
Training Method: Itusesself-supervisedlearning to associate textual descriptions with visual features.
Evaluation Metrics: Image quality is measured using the Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) score, human evaluations, and CLIP-based similarity scores.
