• Authors: Shitong Sun, Guile Wu, Shaogang Gong
• Abstract summary: Existing person re-identification (Re-ID) methods mostly follow a centralised learning paradigm which shares all training data to a collection for model learning. Two recent works have introduced decentralised (federated) Re-ID learning for constructing a globally generalised model (server) However, these methods are poor on how to adapt the generalised model to maximise its performance on individual client domain Re-ID tasks. We present a new Selective Knowledge Aggregation approach to decentralised person Re-ID to optimise the trade-off between model personalisation and generalisation.

• Abstract: Existing person re-identification (Re-ID) methods mostly follow a centralised learning paradigm which shares all training data to a collection for model learning. This paradigm is limited when data from different sources cannot be shared due to privacy concerns. To resolve this problem, two recent works have introduced decentralised (federated) Re-ID learning for constructing a globally generalised model (server)without any direct access to local training data nor shared data across different source domains (clients). However, these methods are poor on how to adapt the generalised model to maximise its performance on individual client domain Re-ID tasks having different Re-ID label spaces, due to a lack of understanding of data heterogeneity across domains. We call this poor 'model personalisation'. In this work, we present a new Selective Knowledge Aggregation approach to decentralised person Re-ID to optimise the trade-off between model personalisation and generalisation. Specifically, we incorporate attentive normalisation into the normalisation layers in a deep ReID model and propose to learn local normalisation layers specific to each domain, which are decoupled from the global model aggregation in federated Re-ID learning. This helps to preserve model personalisation knowledge on each local client domain and learn instance-specific information. Further, we introduce a dual local normalisation mechanism to learn generalised normalisation layers in each local model, which are then transmitted to the global model for central aggregation. This facilitates selective knowledge aggregation on the server to construct a global generalised model for out-of-the-box deployment on unseen novel domains. Extensive experiments on eight person Re-ID datasets show that the proposed approach to decentralised Re-ID significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art decentralised methods.

  Federated learning allows clients to collaboratively learn statistical models while keeping their data local. Recent personalized federated learning methods train a separate model for each client while still leveraging the knowledge available at other clients. We show on a suite of federated datasets that this approach achieves significantly higher accuracy and fairness than state-of-the-art methods.
