Abstract
Robust person re-identification often combines complementary cues such as face, gait, and body shape. While adaptive fusion typically targets query quality, model strength also varies across identities. We introduce identity-conditioned score fusion, a framework that tailors weights to each gallery identity without training. By contrasting intra-identity consistency against cross-identity impostors, it extracts identity-specific profiles that couple with query-conditioned adaptation via a parameter-free rule. This widens the separation between true and false matches while preserving score calibration. Evaluations on three clothes-changing person re-identification benchmarks show that our method consistently outperforms statistical, rank-based, and learned baselines, achieving up to an 8.8% absolute reduction in the false non-identification rate and demonstrating the value of identity-conditioned fusion in open-set person re-identification.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

The possibility of inferring high-dimensional data inference in a model that consists of a prior and an auxiliary differentiable constraint given some additional information is considered, thereby allowing a range of potential applications in adapting models to new domains and tasks.
