Text-to-image (TTI) is one of the most innovative areas in multi-modal learning these days. Transformer architectures played a significant role in the fast development of natural language understanding (NLU) and computer vision and catalyzed the research in the TTI space. In the last few months, OpenAI has made headlines by publishing two papers on their DALL-E model, which can generate photorealistic, artistic images based on language. Recently,
