10 Amazing Machine Learning Projects of 2020 - KDnuggets

A lot happened in the machine learning community during the past year. It ranges from photo editing to NLP to training models with "no-code," and I hope they inspire you to build incredible AI-powered products this year. Background Matting v2 takes a cue from the popular The World is Your Green Screen open-source project and showcases how to remove or change the background in real-time. It gives better performance (30fps at 4K and 60fps at FHD) and can be used with Zoom, the popular videoconferencing app. The technique uses an additional captured frame of the background and uses it in recovering the alpha matte and the foreground layer.
