Reviews: Learning Disentangled Representation for Robust Person Re-identification

Neural Information Processing Systems 

This paper describes an approach to person re-identification that uses a generative model to effectively disentangle feature representations into identity-related and identity-unrelated aspects. The proposed technique uses an Identity-shuffling GAN (IS-GAN) that learns to reconstruct person images from paired latent representations even when the identity-specific representation is shuffled and paired with identity-unrelated representation from a different person. Experimental results are given on the main datasets in use today: CUHK03, Market-1501, and DukeMTMC. The paper is very well-written and the technical development is concise but clear. There are a *ton* of moving parts in the proposed approach, but I feel like the results would be reproducible with minimal head scratching from the written description.
