Due to the difficulty and labor-consuming nature of getting highly accurate or matting annotations, there only exists a limited amount of highly accurate labels available to the public. To tackle this challenge, we propose a DiffuMatting which inherits the strong Everything generation ability of diffusion and endows the power of "matting anything". Our DiffuMatting can 1). act as an anything matting factory with high accurate annotations 2). be well-compatible with community LoRAs or various conditional control approaches to achieve the community-friendly art design and controllable generation. Specifically, inspired by green-screen-matting, we aim to teach the diffusion model to paint on a fixed green screen canvas. To this end, a large-scale greenscreen dataset (Green100K) is collected as a training dataset for DiffuMatting. Secondly, a green background control loss is proposed to keep the drawing board as a pure green color to distinguish the foreground and background. To ensure the synthesized object has more edge details, a detailed-enhancement of transition boundary loss is proposed as a guideline to generate objects with more complicated edge structures. Aiming to simultaneously generate the object and its matting annotation, we build a matting head to make a green color removal in the latent space of the VAE decoder. Our DiffuMatting shows several potential applications (e.g., matting-data generator, community-friendly art design and controllable generation). As a matting-data generator, DiffuMatting synthesizes general object and portrait matting sets, effectively reducing the relative MSE error by 15.4% in General Object Matting and 11.4% in Portrait Matting tasks.

StarCraft II provides an extremely challenging platform for reinforcement learning due to its huge state-space and game length. The previous fastest method requires days to train a full-length game policy in a single commercial machine. In this paper, we introduce the mind-game to facilitate the reinforcement learning, which is an abstract task model. With the mind-game, the policy is firstly trained in the mind-game fastly and is then mapped to the real game for the second phase training. In our experiments, the trained agent can achieve a 100% win-rate on the map Simple64 against the most difficult non-cheating built-in bot (level-7), and the training is 100 times faster than the previous ones under the same computational resource. To test the generalization performance of the agent, a Golden level of StarCraft II Ladder human player has competed with the agent. With restricted strategy, the agent wins the human player by 4 out of 5 games. The mind-game approach might shed some light for further studies of efficient reinforcement learning. The codes are publicly available (https://github.com/mindgameSC2/mind-SC2).
