• Abstract: Unsupervised person re-identification (Re-Id) has attracted increasing attention due to its practical application in the read-world video surveillance system. The traditional unsupervised Re-Id are mostly based on the method alternating between clustering and fine-tuning with the classification or metric learning objectives on the grouped clusters. However, since person Re-Id is an open-set problem, the clustering based methods often leave out lots of outlier instances or group the instances into the wrong clusters, thus they can not make full use of the training samples as a whole. To solve these problems, we present the hybrid dynamic cluster contrast and probability distillation algorithm. It formulates the unsupervised Re-Id problem into an unified local-to-global dynamic contrastive learning and self-supervised probability distillation framework. Specifically, the proposed method can make the utmost of the self-supervised signals of all the clustered and un-clustered instances, from both the instances' self-contrastive level and the probability distillation respective, in the memory-based non-parametric manner. Besides, the proposed hybrid local-to-global contrastive learning can take full advantage of the informative and valuable training examples for effective and robust training. Extensive experiment results show that the proposed method achieves superior performances to state-of-the-art methods, under both the purely unsupervised and unsupervised domain adaptation experiment settings.

  We propose a novel Generative Clustering (GCC) method to incorporate feature learning and augmentation into clustering procedure.

  Deep clustering can optimize representations of instances (i.e., representation learning) and explore the inherent data distribution. The coupled objective implies a trivial solution that all instances collapse to the uniform features. In this work, we first show that the prevalent discrimination task in supervised learning is unstable for one-stage clustering. A novel stable cluster discrimination (SeCu) task is proposed and a new hardness-aware clustering criterion can be obtained accordingly.

This approach is model-agnostic and can be combined with supervised algorithms to learn from unlabeled data. We prove that the core reason for this is lack of a clustering-friendly property in the embedding space.
