Random Occlusion-recovery for Person Re-identification

no code implementations26 Sep 2018 Di Wu, Kun Zhang, Fei Cheng, Yang Zhao, Qi Liu, Chang-An Yuan, De-Shuang Huang

As a basic task of multi-camera surveillance system, person re-identification aims to re-identify a query pedestrian observed from non-overlapping multiple cameras or across different time with a single camera.

Deep Domain Generalization via Conditional Invariant Adversarial Networks

no code implementations ECCV 2018 Ya Li, Xinmei Tian, Mingming Gong, Yajing Liu, Tongliang Liu, Kun Zhang, DaCheng Tao

Under the assumption that the conditional distribution $P(Y|X)$ remains unchanged across domains, earlier approaches to domain generalization learned the invariant representation $T(X)$ by minimizing the discrepancy of the marginal distribution $P(T(X))$.

Causal Discovery in the Presence of Missing Data

1 code implementation11 Jul 2018 Ruibo Tu, Kun Zhang, Paul Ackermann, Bo Christer Bertilson, Clark Glymour, Hedvig Kjellström, Cheng Zhang

When these data entries are not missing completely at random, the (conditional) independence relations in the observed data may be different from those in the complete data generated by the underlying causal process.

Causal Generative Domain Adaptation Networks

no code implementations12 Apr 2018 Mingming Gong, Kun Zhang, Biwei Huang, Clark Glymour, DaCheng Tao, Kayhan Batmanghelich

For this purpose, we first propose a flexible Generative Domain Adaptation Network (G-DAN) with specific latent variables to capture changes in the generating process of features across domains.
