Proposed timeline from GitHub:

> We first plan to publish an online image/video matting demo along with the pre-trained model in Dec. 2020. We then plan to release the code of supervised training and unsupervised SOC in Jan. 2021. We finally plan to open source the PHM-100 validation benchmark in Feb. 2021.

This sounds awesome so don't take my comment as a criticism, but it is interesting that it highlights a difference between academics and non-academics - academics often publish papers before code, whereas non-academics/hackers publish code, and then probably never get around to writing the documentation :)

Maybe if we can get the academics and hackers to perform some human matting..

I think the linked Youtube demo video is pretty impressive, compared to what I see in most video conferencing software.

Generally speaking, reproducibility in research is not the main concern.
