#2Is it fast enough to operate on a live video feed from, say, a webcam?

#3The originally submitted URL (https://www.catalyzex.com/paper/arxiv:2004.00626) points to
https://github.com/senguptaumd/Background-Matting, which points to
https://grail.cs.washington.edu/projects/background-matting, which points to
https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.00626, which points to
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.00626.pdf, which is inlined at the originally submitted URL. I'm not sure what's going on here, but on HN the convention is probably to link to the project home page first, and after that maybe the Github page and if neither of those exist, to the arxiv.org homepage (but not the pdf since those change with each revision). So I've changed to the project home page for now.

Are you suggesting it is an advertisement for catalyzex.com?

I wasn't suggesting anything, but having just looked at the submission history it seems clear that it's promotional. The HN community doesn't favor that. It's fine to submit your own site or work occasionally, but not to use HN primarily for promotion.
Also, the submitted title ('Zoom’s virtual background swap but better. DL+GANs for background replacement') was too promotey.

I agree with you.
FYI your first sentence effectively says > I wasn't suggesting anything, but I was suggesting exactly that.

#7This is broadly called natural image matting if anyone is curious enough to look into the last 20 years of research.

Yes. OBS offers it. Teams and Zoom have guesswork-based imitations.
