[D] How to train a model that'll generate an "average" image based on a large set of images? (alien.top)

There's a lot of image generators that'll allow you to generate multiple images based on the input data. Is there something that'll generate an image that's an average of the trained model instead?

Didn't plan on using machine learning for this project but realized it might be an interesting path to explore.

If the model has the following format:

Encoder, diffusion in latent space, decoder

you can average the embedding right before the decoder. Just make sure your averaging is of a representation that can be meaningfully averaged. E.g. averaging images would result in garbage, but their corresponding embeddings might provide something useful.

Yup, it's pretty possible that the generated image will result in pure garbage. But it's worth exploring and might be a nice visualization!
