Colab-Crypto-Mining VS lama

From https://github.com/decoded-cipher/Colab-Crypto-Mining

You could try to use ControlNet inpaint+lama locally, but results aren't as good in my experience. Or you could try local install of lama directly, but the setup process isn't very smooth.

You may be able to remove the actor with lama. https://github.com/advimman/lama

Task 1: 30$ Write a script to prepare data for https://github.com/saic-mdal/lama. You should be able to prove on video that your script works properly after i give you some data and you train and there's some acceptable output (not perfect, since i know how ml works).

I have some interest in image inpainting, but the recent paper introduced by Samsung - https://github.com/saic-mdal/lama seems like it reached a stage where there isn't much room that we can add for novelty. I am quite interested but not confident if I can come up with a novel idea that can do better than the proposed model, especially if they trained the model on multiple GPUs for days, which is something that I don't have.
